Bucks beat the Pacers 118-100. This looked like basically every Bucks-Pacers game for the past 2 seasons. LeVert was great with 23 points on 13 shots, but the rest of the Pacers were weak and couldn’t slow Giannis, who coasted to 26 and 13.
Pacers in Minnesota tomorrow night. – 7:19 PM

Bucks do what they’ve done against the Pacers over the last several seasons and win easily.
118-100.
Giannis had 26. Caris LeVert was the lone brightspot with 23pts. They were outscored 62-36 in the paint.
Up next: Monday at Timberwolves. – 7:17 PM

8 made threes tonight are a season low for the @Milwaukee Bucks and only the 28th time they didn’t hit 10 or more threes under Bud.

The #Bucks never could make threes tonight, but getting double-digit scoring efforts from Pat Connaughton AND George Hill helped seal this thing off. That, and a sizeable PIP advantage. – 7:17 PM

Rick Carlisle called timeout trailing 98-78. Just over two minutes later, he calls for time again trailing 104-85.
Unlike some of those earlier games on this win streak, the #Bucks aren’t letting deep bench guys get going against them. – 7:04 PM

Pacers are not playing particularly well, but have hit enough 3s and played good enough defense to keep this one relatively close at the half. Milwaukee leads 52-47 at the break. Giannis has 14 and 6, but LeVert had a wonderful 18 point half to help keep Indiana in this game. – 6:06 PM

Frustrated by the offensive foul on Sabonis, Carlisle challenged the play. He then made sure the officials knew fouls were 5-1 Pacers in the 2Q. And drew a technical foul, his third of the season.

DeMarcus Cousins non-guaranteed contract means the Bucks could waive him at any point (until the NBA’s guarantee date in early January) and have no further salary obligations after he’s waived
This contract gives Milwaukee up to 1.5 months to evaluate Cousins fit with their club – 5:38 PM
