The Milwaukee Bucks managed to avoid elimination in Game 5 by defeating the Indiana Pacers 115-92. This victory came even without the presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, both of whom are currently sidelined due to injuries. It marked the first time in NBA history that a team won a game in the postseason without their two top scorers from the regular season.
There is optimism that both Antetokounmpo and Lillard could make a comeback in Game 6, set to take place in Indiana.
According to Doc Rivers, both players are slated to engage in on-court workouts during the off day on Wednesday.
“I think they’re very, very, very close,” Rivers commented.
