In the first round of the NBA playoffs, Damian Lillard scored an impressive 35 points in the first half against the Indiana Pacers, marking the most points scored in a half in Bucks playoff history. This performance places him second in NBA history for most points in a playoff game's first half, closely following Kevin Durant's 38 points achieved on April 26, 2019, against the Clippers. Lillard's achievement has significantly impacted the game, with the Bucks leading comfortably at halftime. This ties closely with Charles Barkley's record set on May 4, 1994.
