The Milwaukee Bucks did a home court count to return to the series with the Indiana Pacers.
The Indiana Pacers hosted the opening two games of the series with the Milwaukee Bucks, spurring new debates about the future of Giannis Anteto Compo.
Giannis needed help and it was clear that Kyle Kuzma was offering an embarrassing 0-0-0 performance in Game 1.
Damien Lillard’s return in Game 2 did not ignite the team. So in Game 3 it was a surprising name that stole the show.
The Milwaukee Bucks won the game 117-101 and narrowed the Pacers Series down to 2-1.
And this game will be remembered forever as a Gary Trent JR game, with the Bucks star getting 37 points, matching Giannis.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gary Trent Jr became the first Milwaukee backsprayers to score 35 plus points in the same playoff game.
And with a staggering nine three pointers, this coincided with the Bucks Record set by the legendary Starle Allen.
As for the overall NBA record, Trent JR’s nine Threes are tied fourth in the NBA playoff game.
This is not the best performance ever by Torrent JR. He also scored 44 points in the Toronto Raptors game in 2021, and worked 42 points.
It took a superhuman effort from Giannis and Gary Trent.
Damien Lillard is still trying to find fitness after returning, and only manages seven points. Kyle Kuzma’s struggle continued for just nine. Meanwhile, Brook Lopez is now 0.
The Bucks could probably rely on Giannis to produce an additional 37-point performance. He made it look like this. But does Gary Trent Jr have another game like this in this series?
Assuming he’s not, his Bucks teammates will need to step up like he did in this game.
