Rapid Recap: Bucks 128, Pacers 119
Prepare the Chick-fil-A’s. Thanks to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 50 point performance, the Bucks defeated the Indiana Pacers by a final score of 128-119.
After being sidelined Monday night vs. Portland, Giannis Antetokounmpo returned back to the starting lineup in this one — and his impact was immediately noticed. He’d go off for 12 points in the opening frame (including a massive coast-to-coast slam) and helped pad Milwaukee’s lead to 34-27 going into the second quarter.
The Bucks would warm up a tad from the perimeter going into the locker room, and it helped grant them a 69-63 halftime lead. After two quarters of play, Giannis led Milwaukee with 18 points.
