Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks head-to-head record
Indiana is well ahead going into Game 5 based on their previous five head-to-head records. The Pacers defeated Milwaukee 129-103 on April 28 and have now won three of their previous four postseason encounters. Additionally, Indiana won handily on April 23 (123–115) and April 19 (117–98), demonstrating their offensive prowess and tempo control. The Bucks' defense has had trouble stopping Indiana's high-efficiency offense, even though they scored a convincing 117-101 victory on April 26 and earlier defeated Indiana 126-119 in the regular-season matchup on March 16. The Pacers have a good chance of winning Game 5 of the series if they keep up their good shooting and take advantage of Milwaukee's defensive errors.
