Did the Milwaukee Bucks really lead the NBA in 3-point percentage during the regular season?
That team was nowhere to be found in the first half of their playoff series against the Indiana Pacers as the Bucks are getting blown out, 67-43.
The Bucks are shooting an abysmal 12.5% from 3-point range, making just 2 of 16 from distance with Ryan Rollins and AJ Green making the lone threes.

Bucks three point shooting veracity disappears in the playoffs
No idea what we did to deserve this

The Pacers, meanwhile, are shooting 7 of 17 on three-pointers. And the Pacers' offense is humming along and its quickness especially is also giving the Bucks fits and setting the pace outscoring Milwaukee by 14 fast-break points.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is the only Bucks player in double figures with 19 points. But he's also missed six free throws in 11 attempts.
The only good news, if there is any for the Bucks, is that Damian Lillard, one of the best three-point shooters in NBA history, is expected back in this series after being out with blood clots in his right calf for the last month.
