MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers had their final matchup of the regular season Saturday. But it's looking increasingly likely that these two budding rivals could meet in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for a second straight season. The Bucks' 126-119 victory over Indiana gave them a one-game lead over the Pacers in the race for fourth place in the East. The Bucks won three of four meetings with the Pacers and therefore own the head-to-head tiebreaker if the two teams finish with the same records. Indiana beat Milwaukee 4-2 in the first round of last year's playoffs.
