Jordan Nwora has 7 assists and 2 TOs in 97 minutes so far this year. Last season: 7 assists and 24 turnovers in 274 minutes. Scoring will always be his go-to skill, but his improved decision-making and defensive effort have stood out the most over the first week of the season. – 12:47 AM

Jonas Valanciunas on BI’s shots late to close out the game:
“When I see him go into his middy, I feel confident. I don’t even go for the offensive boards because I know he’s going to make it. It makes my job easier.” – 11:44 PM

Pacers fought well in this one, but just couldn’t get enough stops to keep up with the Bucks. They fall 119-109.
Brogdon (25) and Sabonis (21) both scored well. But Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton combined for 57. They proved why they are the defending champs. – 9:34 PM

Bucks continue to own the matchup, now 10 of 12 and five in a row over the Pacers.
Giannis had 30-10-9, Middleton scored 27 in a 119-109 win. Goga Bitadze (7p, 9r) was effective and played the entire 4th. Brogdon scored 25.
Pacers now 1-3 with the Raptors, Nets up next. – 9:34 PM

Myles Turner was in early foul trouble, but only has three. Carlisle, though, has gone with Bitadze in the 4th. He’s played 12 minutes (and counting) after not playing in the first 3 games.
He plays with an edge and the team needs more of that. – 9:17 PM

Giannis is a one-man wrecking crew, slicing up the defense, attracting multiple defenders … and he’s got 30pts.
Pacers bigs have battled foul trouble and the most telling stat: Bucks outscoring the Pacers 50-26 in the paint. (Also 24-3 in transition.) – 9:04 PM

Giannis shot an insane 81% in the restricted area last year, but was at just 62% in RA in the first 3 games. Needless to say it was just a matter of time before that number goes up — he was 6/6 in the first half to bring him up to 69% for year. – 8:26 PM

After a close 1st quarter, the Bucks are now making their first run of the game, 21-9 over the last six minutes.
Their lead is 10, the largest of the game. Pacers haven’t slowed them in transition (outscored 10-0) or in the paint (24pts).
Giannis + Middleton combined for 31pts. – 7:58 PM

Derrick says he’s seen nothing but a “great attitude” from Lonnie:
“He had a great game last game (17 points vs. Bucks). We need him all year. He’s ready to go and he’s motivated.” – 2:35 PM

Without Brook Lopez, the Bucks are trying to protect the rim and rebound.
“It’s tough, at least for me. I haven’t been rebounding well. I think everybody is just doing a group effort, boxing out, just going and pursuing the ball.”

#Bucks guard Jrue Holiday is listed as doubtful for tonight’s game against the #Pacers with a left ankle sprain. Bobby Portis, however, is questionable as he has been working his way back from a hamstring injury. – 1:12 PM
