π― ClutchBuzz Bucks vs. Pacers Prediction & Final Word
The Bucks have championship DNA, but they need more shot creation outside of Giannis. If Lillard finds rhythm early, this one could swing. But Indianaβs offensive flow is elite, and their depth β especially off the bench β could be the difference again in Game 2.
