Dame Time came early, when Damian Lillard out performed the pacers 35 to 42 in the first half.
The Milwaukee Bucks were able to take advantage of soft hedges and weak interior defense from the pacers to gain easy baskets at the rim.
With Giannis out Bobby Portis stepped up as usual with aggressive rebounding and impeccable mid range efficiency. The six man of the year candidate showed if asked upon his skills translate into the starting line-up.
First half dominance allowed the Milwaukee Bucks to rest Damian Lillard for the second half where the supporting cast were able to close out the game.
Brook Lopez continues to dominate in the defensive paint blocking shots and starting fast break offense allowing transition threes for Damian Lillard and the boys.
Indiana Pacers seem to be playing a step slow while their playoff inexperience reflecting in bad decision making and turnovers. Open shots were not falling and every good possession was answered timely by Damian Lillard and the bucks.
Players got chippy in the second half, altercation between Damian Lillard and Andrew Nemhard is something to look forward to for the rest of the series as the MilwaukeeBucks took a dominant Game 1 win.
