For the second time this series, the Indiana Pacers led from start to finish.
Game 4 was an offensive clinic for the Pacers as eight players scored at least 12 points and Indiana shot 60% from the field and 46% from the behind the back, hitting 18 3-pointers. Staggering.
Following Indiana's 129-103 win late Sunday night, TNT play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle signed off with, “A nearly perfect performance from the Pacers."
He wasn't lying.
TNT's Ernie Johnson added, “Man, that was a beat down on the mean streets right there."
Charles Barkley wasn't nearly as impressed after a weekend of close games and thrilling finishes.
“These highlights ain’t worth showing again... I’m bored, I won’t even lie. That wasn’t even worth watching," he said during the late night "Inside the NBA" open.
“This thing escalated quickly. It was over early."
The first round series can be over as soon as Tuesday's Game 5. And with the series headed back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and Bucks guard Damian Lillard out for the rest of the postseason, it's a good bet the Pacers will be heavy favorites to put the Bucks out of their misery.

The Pacers' 129-103 victory over the Bucks had Charles Barkley bored, and maybe even a bit sleepy if you ask Kenny Smith.
