For the second year in a row, the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks are meeting in the first round of the NBA playoffs. And the Pacers certainly used playing on their home court to their advantage. They drew first blood on Saturday with a 117-98 win in Game 1 before holding off a late Bucks run for a 123-115 win in Game 2 on Tuesday to take a 2-0 series lead.

But Damian Lillard's return wasn't enough for a Milwaukee win as the Pacers held off a late Bucks rally for a 123-115 win. The Bucks mounted a 13-0 fourth quarter rally to cut a 115-100 Pacers lead to two points. But the Pacers regained their composure to hold on for the win. The series now shifts to Milwaukee with the Pacers holding a 2-0 lead.
