For the fourth time this season, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers took to the court on Monday night at the Fiserv Forum. Much to the disappointment of Bucks fans everywhere, however, is the fact that it was Tyrese Haliburton and Co. who stole away a 122-113 victory to improve to 3-1 against the Bucks this season.
To make matters worse, the Pacers handed the Bucks their first home loss in the past 16 games.
Tyrese Haliburton Sets Twitter Ablaze With Majestic Performance Vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Despite a massive triple-double from Bucks talisman Giannis Antetokounmpo (game-high 30 points on 11-of-20 shooting, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks, one steal), it was Haliburton who dominated headlines after another eye-opening performance.
Haliburton dropped 26 points all over the Bucks on 11-of-22 from the field, to go along with nine rebounds, 11 assists, a steal, a block, and two turnovers in 37 minutes of action. However, it was Haliburton’s clutch play that carried Indiana through as he scored multiple baskets down the stretch to hold off a comeback attempt from Milwaukee.

Simply put, the Bucks just didn’t have an answer for Haliburton down the stretch, which had the mean streets of Twitter all hyped up:

Enough about 39-year-old LeBron James ruling the league.
We need to talk about how 5-year-old Tyrese Haliburton is straight-up dominating.

Needless to say, it’s Tyrese Haliburton (again) who’s come out on top of this latest battle. More importantly, though, the Pacers have now won four straight and have improved to 18-14.
The Bucks, on the other hand, suffer their ninth loss of the season against 24 wins. They fall to 2.5 games behind the Boston Celtics atop the Eastern Conference.
