Milwaukee Bucksin Damian Lillard Indiana Pacersia vastaan

NBA:n pudotuspelien ensimmäisen kierroksen ottelusarja Indiana Pacersin ja Milwaukee Bucksin välillä on seuraavaksi katkolla Pacersille, joka siirtyi otteluparissa viime yönä Suomen aikaa 3-1 johtoon.

Indiana Pacers lukemin 126-113 parempi, kun se kohtasi Milwaukee Bucksin kotiparketillaan ottelusarjan neljännessä ottelussa.

Bucks vei otteluparin ensimmäisen pelin, mutta sen jälkeen Pacers on ollut nyt kolmessa perättäisessä pelissä vahvempi.

– Tuon ensimmäisen pelin jälkeen katsoimme paljon videoita ja huomasin, että heidän puolustuksessaan on paljon reikiä ja tajusin, että siellä on paljon vapaita heittopaikkoja, joita voimme hyödyntää, Pacersin Myles Turner paljasti viime yön ottelun jälkeen.

Turner käytti tosiaan hyväkseen nuo vapaat heittopaikat ja rankaisi niistä Bucksia ankaralla kädellä. Mies heitti toisessa ottelussa perättäin 29 pistettä ja viimeisteli muun muassa seitsemän kolmen pisteen heittoa.

Bucksin lähtöasetelmat otteluun olivat heikot, sillä se joutui pärjäämään ilman supertähtiään Giannis Antetokounmpoa tai Damian Lillardia.

– Tiesimme otteluun lähdettäessä, että meidän olisi tehtävä asioita, joita emme tavallisesti tee. Luulin todella, että sinnittelimme pelissä tarpeeksi, Bucks-valmentaja Doc Rivers totesi pelin jälkeen.

Ottelusarja palaa nyt takaisin Milwaukeen kotiparketille, missä sen on saatava Indianan putki katki, mikäli se haluaa vielä pudotuspelien jatkosta taistella.

Mikäli upotus ei näy, näet sen täältä.
