Bucks Strike First in Playoff Opener without Giannis
The Milwaukee Bucks overcame the absence of their star player Giannis Antetokounmpo to claim a 109-94 triumph in Game 1 of their opening-round series against the Indiana Pacers.
In Giannis’s stead, Damian Lillard emerged as the catalyst for the Bucks, pouring in his entire 35-point tally during the first half. His explosive performance set the tone for Milwaukee’s victory.
With the series now at 1-0 in favor of the Bucks, the team’s supporters can only hope that Lillard’s heroics continue in the absence of their injured superstar.
