That loss moved the Bucks into a three-way tie for the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings.The Bucks are tied with the Pacers and the Detroit Pistons for that critical spot. Getting the fourth spot would give them home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

It seems as though every time the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers meet, something overly dramatic occurs. Whether it's a feud over the rights to a game ball or an NBA Cup upset, these teams have stumbled into one of the more fun rivalries in basketball. Tuesday was yet another stunner. But this time, it was purely a basketball matter.

The Bucks are 2-0 against the Pacers so far this season and can clinch the head-to-head tiebreaker with a win on Tuesday. If Indiana can manage to beat Milwaukee on Tuesday and again on Saturday, the tiebreaker would come down to which team finishes with the best record in divisional games (the Pacers are currently 7-5, while the Bucks are 6-6).
