Pascal Siakam Continues to Impress as Pacers Advance in Playoffs

In January, the Indiana Pacers acquired Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors. Since joining the team, Siakam has been a key contributor, helping the Pacers clinch the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference. In the playoffs, Siakam has elevated his game, averaging 36.5 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists per game while shooting 64.6 percent from the field and 50 percent from the three-point line.

Siakam’s success is due in part to the Pacers’ offense, which has allowed him to thrive. Additionally, the Bucks’ lack of defense has given Siakam an advantage. With Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup, the Bucks have struggled to contain Siakam, who has taken advantage of the opportunity to lead the Pacers on offense.

Siakam’s experience and poise have also been key factors in his success. He is a player who doesn’t get rattled and plays the game at his own pace. This has allowed him to continue playing at a high level against the Bucks, even in the absence of Antetokounmpo.

Pacers Beat Bucks, Haliburton Confident in Home-Crowd Advantage

The Indiana Pacers secured a 125-108 victory over the third-seeded Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, leveling their Eastern Conference first-round series at 1-1. Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with an impressive 37 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists, while Tyrese Haliburton contributed 12 points and 12 assists. Haliburton believes the Pacers have a strong chance in their home games, expressing that they’ve witnessed “regular-season crowds better than what we’ve played in the last two games.” The next two games will take place in Indiana, marking the team’s first home playoff games since the 2020 bubble postseason. The Pacers have struggled in recent years, but their high-energy team and fast-paced style of play have fans excited. The major storyline remains whether Giannis Antetokounmpo will return for the Bucks after missing the first two games due to a calf strain. Despite the Bucks’ strong roster, the Pacers showed their resilience in the regular season, winning 4-1 against Milwaukee. However, the playoffs provide a different challenge, and the Pacers will need to maintain their focus to take control of the series, starting with their home games.
