The Milwaukee Bucks faced a stunning playoff exit after losing 119-118 in overtime to the Indiana Pacers, despite leading by seven points in the final minute. Two critical turnovers by Gary Trent Jr. provided the Pacers with the opportunity they needed, culminating in Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning layup with just over a second left. Statistically, this collapse marks an unprecedented event in NBA playoff history, with the Bucks becoming the first team to lose after leading by seven points with less than 40 seconds remaining.

Additionally, the Bucks' defeat was compounded by controversy surrounding a foul call on AJ Green during Haliburton's game-winning drive, which the NBA's Last Two Minute Report deemed incorrect. This decision could have altered the game’s outcome. With the Bucks now facing an uncertain offseason, speculation arises about the future of their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
