15:07And one of them became the best.
15:15In the game for the Indiana Pacers, number 13, Brandon Knight, with the ball here, into
15:23the game for the Bucs, number 11, Brandon Knight, Parker's looking to operate from down low.

17:28That'll do it for the first half the bucks down by four just a couple of
17:33moments away from insights from Jalen Rose.
17:43Hello everyone, I'm Jalen Rose and this is your EA Sports Halftime Report.
17:53The Pacers are in a close game thus far.
17:56What really stood out to me was the way they did their score, that being from long range.
18:01The majority of their points came from shots taken beyond the arc.
18:13The Bucks are within striking distance at the half.
18:17Offensively, when they're in the paint, they've had success.
18:20They need to keep that up if they want to take the lead in this contest.
18:30These are the guys getting buckets for the Milwaukee Bucks.
18:40Game track.
18:43Three point field goal percentage.
18:46This has not been the kind of game to pick up tips on how to shoot three-pointers.
18:51Neither of these teams have been able to connect reliably from long range.
18:54And the results have often been disastrous.
19:02The player of the half.
19:06Paul Jordan certainly stood out amongst the rest in that opening half.
19:11The crowd would have all eyes on him.
19:12And I know I'm looking forward to see what else he'll do in this game.
19:16It's definitely been a solid performance so far.
19:21Let's check out his stats.
19:30Who was cold?
19:34Bayless has really struggled today with his scoring output.
19:37He's been able to get shots up.
19:39But more often than not, they just haven't been dropping for him.
19:46And here we've got the stats for you.
19:55Here we go with the top play.
19:58Number three.
20:03Number two.
20:09Number one.
20:17We're moments away from the third quarter.
20:19Mike and Jeff are ready to call the second half action.
20:23Welcome back to the Bradley Center for the second half.
20:27Jeff Van Gundy alongside me here tonight.
20:29Mike Green on hand.
20:31Milwaukee's battling in another game where neither team can pull ahead.
20:35Jeff, what are the keys now?
20:36Well, the same has to start the game.
20:38Mike.
20:39Good offense.
20:40Good defense.
20:41That good balance between offense and defense.
20:43And then, it's a hidden factor that most people don't realize.
20:47Rebounding the ball.
20:49Ball's in the air.
20:50What are you doing?
20:51Are you competing to get possession?
20:53Or are you watching and standing around?
20:55So you're in the air.

27:42To George.
27:45Adjusting on the shot, and he's fouled.
27:48And Paul George will get to shoot at the free throw line.
27:51He's three for three from the free throw line.
27:53A good offense is about getting the ball in your best players' hands, in their best spots.
27:59And then all the great offensive players have a knack for drawing fouls.
28:04This great free throw shooter has earned his way to the charity stripe, and that's smart basketball.
28:15Oh, he misses a pair of free throws.
28:22Knight into the front pool.
28:29Nice ball movement.
28:34Knight.
28:36Fires away for two.

29:11What do you think, Jeff?
29:12Well, I just can't wait for it.

36:09No good.
36:10Well, if you don't like scoring, this is the game for you.
36:15If you love defense, this is the one.
36:17Because both teams are really struggling to put the ball on.
36:22Scores to go!
36:23And the foul!
36:24You make mistakes like fouling softly late in close games, you deserve to lose.
36:31Over to the foul.
36:33O.J. Mayo to the line for one.

37:17Puts it up.
37:18It's a two-point game.
37:20It's a fine line between winning and losing in this league.
37:24You get extra shot opportunities, and then you convert those opportunities, you give yourself
37:30a better chance of winning.
37:32The Pacers with the ball here.
37:34Excellent ball movement.
37:35Great teamwork.
37:37West's working down low in the post.
37:42The Bucks with the ball in possession.
37:50Nice ball movement.

37:59He says no, but the red says foul.
38:01Called against West.
38:03Walking shooting 83% from the line in tonight's game.
38:07These are pressure-packed free throws.
38:10Under a half a minute to go.
38:12A chance to tie the game.
38:14If you make both, you play from a position of strength.
38:18If you miss one or both, you're most likely going to have to foul and try to stop the clock.
38:33Clutch free throw shooting, and the game is tied.
38:43Game is going to be decided right here.

38:53Jump bump knocks it down.
38:55It's a two-point game, and Milwaukee calls timeout.
38:59Very little time remaining here in the fourth.

39:20Very little time to play.
39:23Very little time to play.

39:30Very little time to play.
39:30Good man.
39:30We are going to be our way to go.
39:30Now into the fourth stage.
40:45Hey, everyone.
40:47It's Jalen Rose, and it's time for the EA Sports Post Game Wrap-Up.
40:55The Pacers took this down to the wire before getting the win.
40:59They were able to rely on scoring efficiency that wasn't necessarily outstanding, but it was definitely great.
41:05Well, great enough to add a W to their win power.
41:08Check out the leading scores for the Indiana Pacers.
41:18The Bucs lost a tight one today, and you can see the disappointment.
41:22They definitely put in the effort down low, but it ultimately wasn't enough to turn the tide in their favor.
41:28What you see here is how the majority of the points were scored for the Milwaukee Bucs.
41:39Game track.
41:42Three-point field goal percentage.
41:45The first thing that comes to my mind is the poor three-point shooter.
41:48Neither squad shot well from long range.
41:50They did a better job of providing rebounding opportunities.
42:00Player of the game.
42:04Paul George gets the well-deserved nod for this award.
42:18And now look at the numbers.
42:28Who was cold?
42:32Brandon Knight was stunning today for all the wrong reasons.
42:36No matter what he tried, he just couldn't get the ball to go through the hoop.
42:44And here we have a look at his stat line.
42:54Here's our top players of the game.
42:57Number three.
43:03Number two.
43:09Number one.
43:18And that does it for our post-game wrap-up.
43:21On behalf of ESPN on EA Sports, I'm Jalen Rose.
43:24Thanks for joining us.
43:25Heart Demons.
43:25Cheers.
43:27You're welcome.
