Siakam sets the Pacers on road to playoff resurgence

Veteran leads scoring, despite another solid shift for the Bucks from Lillard

MILWAUKEE — As a former champion on a team without much postseason experience, Pascal Siakam understands what it's going to take for the Indiana Pacers to advance beyond the first round of the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

Siakam's certainly doing his part.

The former Toronto Raptors forward scored 37 points as the Pacers overcame another fantastic first-half performance from Damian Lillard to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 125-108 on Tuesday night and tie their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series at one game apiece.
