Milwaukee very nearly went down in history as the third No. 8 seed to win a first-round playoff series. Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Sam Cassell helped the Bucks push the top-seeded Indiana Pacers to the absolute limit. Travis Best’s 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter of Game 5 allowed Indiana to escape with a 96-95 victory in the decisive game of the best-of-five series. The Bucks outscored the Pacers by nine points over the course of the series.
