The 2025 NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the Indiana Pacers have advanced to the second round with a wild Game 5 win over the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night. They join the Cleveland Cavaliers, who finished off a sweep of the Miami Heat in Game 4, and the Oklahoma City Thunder, who similarly swept the Memphis Grizzlies.

After a thrilling four quarters of regulation, the game needed five more minutes to be decided. Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead in overtime thanks to a scorching hot performance from Gary Trent Jr., but the Pacers crawled back to stay in the game.

Sixteen teams in total make the NBA playoffs, eight teams from both the Eastern and Western Conference. The top six seeds in each conference advance based on the regular season record. The final two seeds in each conference are determined by the NBA Play-In Tournament.
