The Milwaukee Bucks failed to advance to the first round of the 2023-24 NBA playoffs under Doc Rivers, losing to the Indiana Pacers in six games. In the 2024-25 postseason, they are up against Indiana again, and by the looks of it, history will repeat itself.

The Milwaukee Bucks lost 123-115 to the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the NBA playoffs and will go back home down 0-2 in the series. Damian Lillard returned to the Bucks lineup after not playing since March while recovering from a blood clot in his right calf.

Despite trailing 2-0 in the first round against the Pacers, Doc Rivers is still confident that the Bucks can come back and win.
