00:00Milwaukee led by as many as 17 points in that opening half.

00:04Now, the Pacers did battle back to really take a lead in the second half

00:08and even in the fourth quarter, but it was Tyrese Halliburton

00:11equalizing late in regulation, about 10 ticks remaining.

00:15Sends the game to overtime.

00:16Milwaukee builds up a lead again.

00:18Gary Trent Jr., 12 points in that extra session.

00:22And Milwaukee led by 7, 118, 111, with fewer than 40 seconds remaining.

00:28We were getting ready for game number six inside the Pfizer Forum.

00:32The Pacers had other ideas.

00:34A couple of clutch shots from Indiana down the stretch.

00:38A couple of awful turnovers from Gary Trent Jr.

00:42And Tyrese Halliburton takes advantage.

00:44The game-winning layup with about two seconds remaining in overtime.

00:49And Indiana wins game five in its opening round series over Milwaukee,

00:53119, 118 in one of the most dramatic comebacks you will ever see

00:59in NBA playoff action.

01:01And we do have a lot of questions that need to be answered

01:05once the official offseason starts,

01:07where what is Milwaukee going to do next year with their squad?

01:10The one thing that you liked about Giannis is way back

01:12when they were starting to build the championship-caliber squad,

01:15he said, I'm only resigning back here.

01:16It's like LeBron James in Cleveland.

01:18If I have full control over this roster and money is no object to get me who I need,

01:23which includes players like Damian Lillard,

01:24who probably won't even be there next year.

01:26But those are going to come.

01:28But let's focus on this game.

01:29Because you had players that stepped up outside of Damian Lillard not being there.

01:33I told you yesterday, extra shots are going to be available.

01:35I told you, Gary Trent Jr. is going to score 33,

01:37and Giannis is going to have 30, 20, and 13, and they lost this game.

01:41You know what it takes?

01:41An epic collapse, which is exactly what happened in that overtime period.

01:45You do have to give credit to the Pacers for waking up because Milwaukee was here for it.

01:49And sometimes those are the best ways to bet.

01:51Now, granted, if you just said, I'm going to take Milwaukee with the points yesterday,

01:54you did cash in that ticket.

01:55But we always like to see, hey, I'm an underdog.

01:58How are you going to perform when everything looks like it's lost right away in the opponent's building?

02:0330 to 13 right off the bat.

02:04We're already heading back to a game number six.

02:06This game looks like it's over.

02:08You know, make it a little bit closer at the half.

02:10Exciting third quarter.

02:10Exciting fourth quarter.

02:11Exciting overtime.

02:12Which the Pacers were the better overall team, and they should have been.

02:15Once Lillard got that injury.

02:16The Bucs fought, but maybe they just had Doc Rivers, who doesn't have a lot of success

02:20in the playoffs, and he gets bounced out in round one again.

02:23Tough scene for Milwaukee.

02:24They weren't a great team entering into the playoffs, but they did show some heart here

02:27in that final game.

02:28He just let it slip in overtime.
