Bucks Snap Losing Run With Win Over Pacers
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Indiana Pacers, 132-119, at Fiserv Forum on Monday.

The Bucks (28-16) have been shorthanded in recent games due to several injury problems, but that didn’t stop them from getting a big home win over the Pacers (23-22). Despite the absence of their two best players in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton and a passive start, the Bucks completed a massive second-half comeback to get the victory. Indiana raced out to a 38-32 lead in the first quarter and made it a double-digit game following a 38-33 score in the second quarter, but Milwaukee would flip the script after halftime. A 28-22 score in the third quarter made it a five-point contest with only 12 minutes left, and Milwaukee carried the momentum to blow the game wide open. The Bucks won the final quarter by an expressive 39-21 score, which allowed them to secure the victory. With the win, Milwaukee moved to 17-5 at home, while the Pacers fell to 8-13 on the road.

Jrue Holiday was the best player for the Bucks in this game and finished with 35 points, 11 assists, four rebounds and two steals, while Bobby Portis ended with 21 points and 11 rebounds while adding four assists. Brook Lopez posted 19 points, six rebounds and a block, and Grayson Allen contributed 17 points, five boards, four dimes and two steals. Jordan Nwora recorded 14 points and six rebounds coming off the bench.

Myles Turner was the best player for the Pacers and finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and four blocks, while Buddy Hield ended with 18 points, five boards and five assists. Bennedict Mathurin recorded 12 points and eight boards, and T.J. McConnell had another impressive outing off the bench by recording 29 points, nine assists, five rebounds and three steals.
