Minnesota were not as clinical as in the first game, with Julius Randle scoring 27 points and Anthony Edwards adding 25.<\/p>\n
“It seemed like every time I caught the ball, they kind of went into a zone in a sense,” said Edwards. <\/p>\n
“It was kind of confusing at times but we’ll watch the film and be ready [for game three].”<\/p>\n
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a game-high 34 points but his visiting side were beaten 123-115 by the Indiana Pacers and went 2-0 down in their Eastern Conference first-round play-off series.<\/p>\n
The Bucks had Damian Lillard back following a five-week absence and he sank a three-pointer in the latter stages of the fourth quarter to help his side reduce a 15-point deficit and draw to within two points of the Pacers at 115-113.<\/p>\n
However, Andrew Nembhard, who scored 17 points, responded with a three-pointer for the Pacers as they held on in a game which included a first-quarter scuffle and a number of technical fouls. <\/p>\n
“It’s fun,” said Tyrese Haliburton. “This is what everybody lives for. We’re all competitors, so having a lot of fun competing right now.”<\/p>\n
Haliburton scored 21 points and added 12 assists, while Pacers team-mate Pascal Siakam added 24 points and 11 rebounds.<\/p>\n
Western Conference winners Oklahoma City Thunder went 2-0 up in the first-round play-off series against the Memphis Grizzlies courtesy of a comfortable 118-99 home win.<\/p>\n
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 27 points for the Thunder as team-mates Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren added 24 and 20 points respectively.<\/p>\n
Jaren Jackson Jr scored 26 points and Ja Morant added 23 for the Grizzlies but they struggled to trouble their hosts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
