12 matches. Seems an almost impossible record, but the local teams – with home court factor – in the 2024 NBA Playoffs They chained 12 wins and no defeats until the Indiana Pacers (108-125) hit the Milwaukee Bucks (1-1) hard to take away their court factor and put a favorite against the ropes. Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, life is, of course, much more complicated.

From the 2004 post-season such a local streak was not seen, according to the data published byr Mr. Chip in ‘X’. A wild presentation that the Pacers aborted, but that determined the start of the Playoffs. “There is another energy playing at home. It gives you pressure, sensation and everything goes towards you. That’s why teams want the home court factor during the regular season. And whoever has it is supposed to be better,” he said. Austin Rivers, former player and now analyst prestigious on American television Pat McAfee Show.

Until Indiana arrived. Pascal Siakam stood out with 37 points and 11 rebounds, becoming one of the best scorers of the present Playoffs. In the third quarter he accelerated with his power, and both exterior and interior ability. They accelerated and Myles Turner opened the final margin by chaining two triples (22 total points). Milwaukee went into collapse definitive.
Damian Lillard repeated the show with 34 points and six triples in the first half, but there was no more argument up to the task in the final moments. Without Giannis Antetokounmpo they are not a first-class team, as is demonstrated by their six defeats in 11 games with the Greek’s absence.

And also some unmatched numbers from Antetokounmpo throughout the season. FHe finished his eighth season with more than 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 300 assists, 50 blocks, 50 steals and more than 50% in TC. Nobody in the history of the NBA surpassed five seasons like this with records of Larry Bird, Charles Barkley y Kareem-Abdul Jabbar. The 1-1 sets off your alarms… and perhaps your speedy recovery.
