Despite the loss, Indiana locked-in the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference and will face the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. Giannis is on an absolute tear right now, but we'll have plenty of time to worry about that later.
For now, enjoy another stress-free battle of the backups.
