Game review
What happened
The Bucks beat the Pacers 110–102 at home. Tyler Herro led them with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, and Ryan Rollins added 19. For the Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton had 22 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists.
What the model got right
The model gave the Bucks a 61% chance at home, mainly because of their higher team-strength rating (91.0 to 89.4), and they won by 8. Andrew Nembhard and Ivica Zubac for the Pacers both missed the game, as the preview expected.
What didn't work
Recent form favoured the Pacers (the Bucks had been losing by 9.6 points a game, the Pacers losing by 2.2), and that didn't carry over. Tyrese Haliburton's 22 points for the Pacers weren't enough to change the result.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the team-strength rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 61%, about 4 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
