Pascal Siakam

Pascal Siakam on Indiana's second-half slide: "I can't count how many wide open 3s we had." Milwaukee won second-chance points 17-6 after halftime; Tyrese Haliburton blamed boxing out, "Started with me, honestly." Jrue Holiday is out, and Haliburton gave no timeline.

Rookies Nate Ament and Brayden Burries drew praise from Milwaukee's Taylor Jenkins: Ament for his second-half post defense, Burries for defending ball-handlers, finishing and another big shot. Myles Turner said Ament "played good defense against... an All-Star in Pascal Siakam."
