    Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton did everything he could to win game 3 against the Indiana Pacers. It wasn't enough.

    Usually, the Bucks would rely on all-star point guard Damian Lillard in clutch time situations, but he did not seem himself throughout a majority of the game. So, Milwaukee looked to Middleton and he delivered, twice, scoring one game-tying shot to send the game to overtime and one to tie the game late in OT.

    In the end, it didn't matter, as Tyrese Haliburton hit the game-winner with 1.6 seconds left.

    Bucks coach Doc Rivers spoke with the media following the game and gave an update on Lillard.

    " I think it's his Achilles again, so we'll see. "

    The full quote was posted on social media by Bucks reporter Eric Nehm.

    Will Dame be available for the Bucks in Game 4? They are already missing their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and can't afford to lose Lillard as they fell to a 2-1 series deficit.
