Milwaukee Bucks
INDIANAPOLIS, IND (WSAU) — The undermanned Indiana Pacers were a tenacious bunch on Monday night but the Milwaukee Bucks found a way to fight through adversity to pull out a 117-115 win.
Giannis Antetokounmpo hit a jumper at the buzzer for the win. He finished with 33 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. He also had to fight through the Pacers strategy of fouling him at every opportunity. It included a Flagrant 1 foul from Aaron Nesmith.
The Bucks were also sloppy in this one as they turned the ball over 18 times and gave up 14 offensive rebounds.
Five other Bucks scored in double figures. Kyle Kuzma had 15, AJ Green 13, Cole Anthony and Gary Trent Jr had 11 each and Ryan Rollins added 10 with seven assists and five rebounds. Myles Turner, in his return to Indianapolis had nine points and seven rebounds.
The Bucks, now 5-2, are right back at it tonight. They play at Toronto…pre game show at 6 on WSAU.
