Milwaukee vs. Indiana: Bucks — Blistering, Bumpy — Beat Pacers

The Indiana Pacers aren’t as dangerous without potential All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton, but they made the Bucks work for all 48 minutes to secure Milwaukee’s 141-131 victory.

From the jump, Giannis Antetokounmpo had the appearance of a guy who Indiana would struggle to slow down, much less stop. Pacers center Myles Turner has the tools, in theory, to give Giannis problems, but from the second offensive possession on it was all Giannis: stop-starts, decisive dribble moves, regularly beating Turner to the first step, and powering his way through when needed. Antetokounmpo would finish with 41 points (16-29 from the floor), 12 rebounds, and 6 assists.
