The Pacers had a huge game on tap on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, a team they’re chasing in the standings. The Pacers were able to grab a thrilling 115-114 win thanks to Tyrese Haliburton, who <a href="https://x.com/TonyREast/status/1899643464154767539" rel="noopener">drew this response</a> from Pascal Siakam, as per Tony East of Forbes Sports.</p><p>“Tough players make tough plays,” Pascal Siakam said following Tyrese Haliburton’s four-point play to get the Pacers the win against the Bucks.</p><p>With about three seconds left in the game and the Pacers trailing 114-111, Haliburton caught an inbounds pass and launched up a three-point shot that found the bottom of the net. He was fouled by Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo as he tumbled to the floor in front of the Milwaukee bench. Haliburton would hit the free-throw to complete the four-point play, and to give the Pacers the win.</p><p>Following Haliburton’s heroics, the Pacers essentially moved into a tie record-wise with the Bucks in the East standings. Both teams are currently 36-28 with the Bucks in fourth place in the East and the Pacers in fifth. The Pacers snapped a three-game losing streak while the Bucks dropped their third consecutive game.</p><p>The Detroit Pistons are hot on both teams’ heels though at 37-29. All three teams are battling for the 4-6 spots in the East and making the playoffs outright without having to go through the play-in. Whoever clinches the four spot would clinch homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs.</p><p>Last season, the Pacers secured a top six seed in the East and defeated the Bucks in the opening round <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/bucks-news-giannis-antetokounmpo-hope-nba-playoffs-injury-return-vs-pacers">amid an injury to Giannis Antetokounmpo</a>. The Pacers and Bucks have developed a mini sort-of rivalry stemming from last season’s in-season tournament matchup as well as a postgame incident last January when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/bucks-news-giannis-antetokounmpo-nsfw-tunnel-exchange-with-pacers">Antetokounmpo went searching for the game ball</a> following his career-high in points.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Back from the All-Star break, Siakam’s goal for the Pacers for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign is to remain in the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference standings.</p><p>With a 30-23 record, the Pacers are fourth in the Eastern Conference standings, which, for Siakam, is <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1892344254929793310" rel="noopener">critical</a> for his team’s chances of making a deep run in the postseason, per Pacers’ X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>“You want to get homecourt advantage, right? Being in the playoffs, that’s what you want to do,” Siakam said. “And that’s what we should be aiming for now. That should be our goal. And I think from what we did last year, we want to improve from that. And I think that looks like an improvement if we get to those spots.”</p><p>As the only Pacers player with a championship pedigree, Siakam stands out as the team’s vocal leader fresh off his third All-Star appearance. He’s also coming off a 4-0 sweep to the champion Boston Celtics in last year’s Eastern Conference Finals. Although the Pacers were shorthanded against the Celtics, including two-time All-Star Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin ruled out mid-series, teams such as the league-leading Cleveland Cavs and the surging New York Knicks could stand in their way of securing homecourt advantage.</p><h2><b>Pascal Siakam drops honest Luka Doncic trade admission</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Pacers-All-Star-Pascal-Siakam.jpg"><figcaption>Chuckís Global Stars forward Pascal Siakam (43) of the Indiana Pacers dribbles the ball against Kennyís Young Stars guard Cade Cunningham (2) of the Detroit Pistons during the 2025 NBA All-Star Game at Chase Center</figcaption></figure><p>While enjoying his All-Star Weekend, Pacers All-Star <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-pascal-siakam-luka-doncic-trade-admission" rel="noopener">Pascal Siakam </a><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-pascal-siakam-luka-doncic-trade-admission" rel="noopener">commented on avoiding a fine</a> or, worse, a potential trade by mentioning Lakers superstar Luka Doncic.

After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-trade-grade-luka-doncic-deal">Luka Doncic was suddenly traded</a>, he felt that <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1890858060060537208" rel="noopener">he might be next</a>.</p><p>“Bro, I don’t like getting into… I’m just here so I don’t get fined… I’m cool with everything,” Siakam joked. “They traded Luka [Doncic] last time, I’m trying to chill.”</p><p>After that trade, it made it clear to other NBA players that no one was safe. Trading a franchise player mid-season is unheard of. Doncic was a staple with the Dallas Mavericks. After all, he helped the franchise get to the 2024 NBA Finals. Although they lost to the Dallas Mavericks, it was a telling sign of things to come.</p><p>However, the Indiana star endured some of the same work. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pascal-siakam-trade-grades-pacers-raptors-pelicans">Pacers traded for Siakam</a> last season, and it paid off for them. They had one of the top offenses, as well as making it to the Eastern Conference Finals. It was a great showing for Indiana. It also gave point guard Tyrese Haliburton a big who can create his offense.</p><h2><b>Pacers’ Pascal Siakam wants nothing like the Luka Doncic trade</b></h2><p>Once again, the trade truly shook up the NBA. Plenty of players were shocked, and some thought that they were next on the chopping block. Funny enough, Kevin Durant was almost in that position. The Phoenix Suns put his name in trade rumors and didn’t tell him.</p><p>It created some friction, but again, another instance of a team not informing their star player of a move. However, Siakam might not need to worry about a potential trade. The Pacers made the big move to trade for him in the middle of the 2024 season. He only played with them for half of a season and had some success.</p><p>Now with a full season under their belt, the Pacers are thriving. They are 30-23 and are fourth in the Eastern Conference. They also have a <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/IND/2025.html" rel="noopener">Top 10 offense in points per game</a> in the league. The high-octane offense under head coach Rick Carlisle will continually feature Siakam.</p><p>Either way, his words remain true. No one is truly safe, regardless of a great relationship with a front office.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
