The old adage "basketball is a game of runs" bore out on Wednesday night in Milwaukee.
The Pacers fell into a 22-point hole in the first quarter, rallied to tie the game by the opening minute of the third quarter, only to see the Bucks build their back up to 28 on their way to a 119-100 win.
The loss snapped a four-game win streak for Indiana (37-25), which was without two-time All-Star Victor Oladipo due to a sore right knee for the second straight game and lost starting point guard Malcolm Brogdon to a sore left hip in the first half of Wednesday's contest.
