The Milwaukee Bucks were able to get back into their series against the Indiana Pacers on Friday evening, winning Game 3 117-101. The Bucks were down 2-0 in the series coming back to Milwaukee, and they needed to do anything they could to get the win. They now trail the series 2-1, and there seems to be some hope for the team as Game 4 comes up on Sunday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo once again dominated, finishing the game with 37 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists, but it was somebody else who came up big for the Bucks as well. It was Gary Trent Jr., who scored a career playoff-high 37 points, as he made nine 3-pointers to tie the Bucks franchise record for most triples in a game.

This type of performance was no surprise to Damian Lillard, as he played with Trent before on the Portland Trail Blazers.
"When he has a performance like tonight, I know how much he really believes in himself," Lillard said via The Athletic's Eric Nehm. "Some people believe when it’s going well, some people kind of get down on themselves, but I know his thoughts of himself, the true confidence. This type of game does not surprise me by him, and it came at a time when we needed it.”
The Bucks needed every 3-pointer from Trent, and they're going to need him to keep shooting if they want to tie the series. With another opportunity at home in Game 4, the Bucks should feel good about their chances.
