Unfortunately, the Bucks suffered some early misfortune when star point guard Damian Lillard suffered a lower leg injury just six minutes into the game and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Milwaukee fought hard in his absence but ultimately couldn't keep up, as Indiana earned a 129-103 win to take a 3-1 series lead.

The Bucks enter Game 3 down 2-0 after losing both games in Indiana, and Giannis Antetokounmpo knows full well that they cannot afford to lose on Friday night. Doing so would pretty much be a death sentence for the Bucks, considering how no team in the history of the NBA has ever come back to win a series after going down 3-0.

Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a fantastic showing in the Game 2 defeat, scoring 34 points on 14-of-20 shooting while recording a whopping 18 rebounds, seven assists and one block. The Bucks took too long to find a rhythm, however, and wavered defensively in crucial moments. It will take a team effort to shift momentum in this series.
