INDIANAPOLIS — After missing out on their first opportunity to close out a playoff series for the first time since 2014, the Indiana Pacers weren’t about to let another slip by at home. The Milwaukee Bucks had Damian Lillard back in action, but the Pacers still throttled Milwaukee 120-98 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Game 6 of their series on Thursday night, clinching a 4-2 series win to move on to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The series win marks the Pacers’ first since they beat the Washington Wizards in six games in the 2014 Eastern Conference semifinals. The Pacers will play either the Knicks or the 76ers with Game 6 of that series happening later Thursday night. Indiana’s second-round series will begin Monday.
