The Milwaukee Bucks did not suffer from the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo at home against the Indiana Pacers (132-119). Even if it was not easy, the Wisconsin players were able to count on Jrue Holiday, who assumed his role as boss (35 points), as well as on Bobby Portis, author of a double-double (21 points, 11 rebounds).
Milwaukee halted a series of two losses there and moved forward in third place in the East while Indiana piled up a fourth game without a win, despite Myles Turner’s 30 points and T. J. McConnell’s 29. The Pacers are 8th.
