Bucks coach Doc Rivers told reporters that Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) did not practice today.
He sprained his ankle in the 1st quarter and then played 36 minutes.
Asked if there was concern about him being able to play in Game 3, Rivers said, “Yeah, there’s a little.” – 1:34 PM

The Fumbleroski works – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just hit another tough hang-time middy. Superstar performance on the biggest stage. – 11:05 PM

Clippers were subpar in paint again tonight
But they hit jump shots in Game 1!
Tonight… missed 29 of 40 shots outside the paint. Middy bad, 3s worse – 1:12 AM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Thought Exum did a good job there defensively on Harden, but he’s whistled for the foul as Harden drains a middy. – 11:13 PM

Half: Pacers 60, Bucks 55
– Lillard 26pts/2ast (6-11 3pt)
– Lopez 12pts/2ast
– Middleton 6pts/3reb/3ast
Pacers have half of their points behind the 3-point line with their 10-of-20 3-point shooting. – 9:34 PM

That might be the first Damian Lillard-Khris Middleton pick-and-roll of the whole season.
Perfect short roll by Middleton, dumps it off to Bobby Portis for the lay-up.
Bucks up, 38-35, with 8:48 left in the second quarter. – 9:15 PM

That Khris Middleton injury and return discombobulated the Bucks. Sub patterns, lineups, all went a little bit sideways. Curious if they can get back on track with this quarter break.
Pacers up, 30-26, after one quarter. – 9:03 PM

Bucks forward Khris Middleton taken out during the first timeout and headed back to the locker room minutes after appearing to tweak his right ankle. – 8:50 PM

Looks like Khris Middleton twisted his ankle on that foul by Pascal Siakam.
He’s hobbling through it, but curious to see if he’ll be able to continue. – 8:43 PM

Khris Middleton limping after contact with Pascal Siakam. He’s staying in the game though. – 8:43 PM
