Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks player stats and box score (April 27) | Game 4, 2025 NBA Playoffs

The Milwaukee Bucks' tough luck with playoff injuries continued Sunday night as they lost Damian Lillard to a suspected Achilles tear during their 129-103 Game 4 defeat to the Indiana Pacers, falling into a 3-1 series hole as the matchup heads back to Indiana on Tuesday.

In the first quarter, Lillard went down with a non-contact injury and couldn't put any weight on his left leg. Chris Haynes later reported that the Bucks fear Lillard may have torn his left Achilles.

Without Lillard, Milwaukee’s offense struggled to keep up. Giannis Antetokounmpo turned in his usual dominant performance with 28 points, 15 rebounds, and six assists, but no other Bucks starter managed to score in double figures.

Kevin Porter Jr. chipped in 23 points, six assists and five rebounds off the bench, while Bobby Portis added 14, but it wasn't enough as the Pacers steamrolled them.

Indiana’s high-powered attack was spearheaded by Tyrese Haliburton, who posted 17 points, 15 assists, and eight rebounds. Myles Turner paced the team in scoring with 23 points, while Andrew Nembhard contributed 20.

Five other Pacers also hit double figures: T.J. McConnell had 15, Aaron Nesmith finished with 14, Obi Toppin added 13, and both Pascal Siakam and Jarace Walker tallied 12 apiece.

The Pacers shot a scorching 50-for-83 from the field (60.2%) and knocked down 18-of-39 3-pointers (46.2%), which proved critical in securing the road victory. In contrast, Milwaukee shot just 41.6% overall and 40.5% from beyond the arc.

Indiana also crushed Milwaukee on the boards, winning the rebounding battle 50-40, and dished out 11 more assists than the Bucks.

Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks: Game recap

The opening quarter saw both teams trading baskets, with Aaron Nesmith knocking down a jumper to give the Pacers a 15-12 advantage midway through the period. However, just a few possessions later, the Bucks were dealt a major scare as Damian Lillard went down with a non-contact injury.

Chris Haynes has since reported that the Bucks fear Lillard may have suffered a left Achilles tear. Before his early exit, Lillard was held scoreless, tallying just two rebounds and two assists in six minutes.

Following Lillard’s departure, the Pacers widened their lead to 30-18. The Bucks managed to close the gap slightly with a pair of late threes, trimming it to 30-24 by the end of the first quarter.

The Pacers kept their momentum going into the second frame, with Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner, and Tyrese Haliburton orchestrating the offense. Indiana outscored Milwaukee by five in the period, heading into halftime with a 63-52 cushion.

At the break, Turner led the Pacers with 14 points, Nesmith chipped in 11, while Haliburton had a near triple-double pace with 10 points, seven assists and five rebounds. Giannis Antetokounmpo led all scorers at halftime with 15 points.

In the third quarter, Indiana’s offense stayed hot, outscoring the Bucks 38-32, and from there, the Pacers' bench powered a huge fourth quarter push, outscoring Milwaukee 28-19.

Game 5 is set for Tuesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana, with tipoff scheduled for 6 p.m. ET.
