INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Milwaukee guard Damain Lillard scored 14 points Tuesday in his first game back from deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, a 123-115 loss to Indiana in Game 2 of the first-round series.
Lillard was 4 of 13 from the field in 37 minutes, his first game action since March 18 and his first playoff game with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 34 points, 18 rebounds and seven assists.
Pascal Siakam had 24 points and 11 rebounds and Tyrese Haliburton added 21 points and 12 assists to lead the Pacers.
Indiana has won five of the last six playoff games between the teams and never trailed in this one. The Pacers had lost three of four regular-season games to the Bucks. The teams will meet for the 18th time in the last two seasons on Friday, when Game 3 is played in Milwaukee.
Bobby Portis Jr. finished with 28 points, including six 3-pointers, and 12 rebounds for the Bucks.
