Lillard scores 35 in return to playoffs, Bucks defeat Pacers
Damian Lillard returned to the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2021 and performed like a man who had sorely missed playing on that stage.
The former Trail Blazers star scored 35 points, all in the first half, to lead the Bucks to a 109-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of their first-round Eastern Conference series.
Lillard, who led Portland to eight playoff appearances in 11 seasons, scored 19 points in the first quarter and 16 in the second to finish the first half with 35 on 11-of-19 shooting while sinking 6 of 10 three-point attempts.
The Bucks, who began the series without Giannis Antetokounmpo (lower leg strain), led 69-42 at halftime.
The Pacers put the clamps on Lillard in the second half. He attempted just five shots missing all of them to go scoreless the rest of the way.
The Bucks, expected to have Antetokounmpo available later in the series, went 1-4 against the Pacers during the regular season.
Lillard’s last playoff appearance ended with a 4-2 series loss to Denver in 2021. The Blazers missed the playoffs in 2022 and 2023 contributing to Lillard requesting a trade last summer.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
