Watch: Khris Middleton's clutch efforts not enough vs. Pacers
Khris Middleton made big shot after big shot. His shots in the fourth quarter and overtime were close to giving Milwaukee a series lead.
Middleton drilled a 30-footer to send Game 3 of the Pacers-Bucks series to overtime. It was his second clock-defying shot of the game, having ended the third quarter with a tough shot as well.
Indiana looked like it held off Milwaukee's comeback when Pascal Siakam grabbed Tyrese Haliburton's miss to put the Pacers up three. But he couldn't hit the and-one to give the Pacers a two-possession lead.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo out, Middleton stepped up, scoring 35 points in regulation. He also set up his own game-tying shot by scoring past Siakam.
And Middleton kept trying to bring his team back with one last clutch shot.
Haliburton, however, iced the game with an and-one.
Middleton's 42-point effort wasn't enough, as the Pacers took a 2-1 series lead after a 121-118 overtime win.
