The Milwaukee Bucks got back in the win column after a convincing 111-94 win over the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. After a back-and-forth first quarter, the Bucks held the Pacers scoreless for nearly three minutes to start the second, building a double-digit lead from which they wouldn’t look back (despite the inevitable Pacers run in the fourth). Read our full summary of the game here and catch a six-minute audio recap on the Bucks+ podcast, Bucks In Six Minutes, below.

38 minutes, 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 8/13 FG, 2/3 3PT, 6/9 FT, +16

Porter continued his strong play in this one, filling up the stat sheet once again. He consistently put pressure on the rim and was at it again with his opportunistic defence with three steals. More importantly, Porter was under much more control than he has been recently, finishing with just one turnover, and his 11 last-quarter points were pivotal as the Bucks struggled to score and the Pacers brought it too close for comfort. He’s been asked to do a lot lately—too much, really—but this is the Porter the Bucks need. Bravo.

28 minutes, 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks, 4/14 FG, 1/8 3PT, -3

Turner couldn’t get his shot to fall on a consistent basis, but the attitudinal shift was noteworthy. He was aggressive early and often, looking to score, moving the ball decisively, and swatting shots at the rim—his three blocks were his most since he had four against Portland 12 games ago. If he maintains this aggression, the results will come.

35 minutes, 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 5 turnovers, 5 fouls, 5/12 FG, 1/3 3PT, +5

Kuzma had a few rough sequences, particularly in the second half when he got the raw end of the whistle; overall though, he played quite an effective game. He had two offensive rebound put-backs that came at opportune times and generally made sound decisions.

26 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 5 fouls, 1/6 FG, 1/6 3PT, +2

Green is now just 3/16 from three since returning from injury and it’s clear something still isn’t right. But he did have a moment, splashing a transition three to stunt the Pacers’ momentum in the fourth quarter. Still, if Green is going to play 26 minutes, he needs to contribute more.

32 minutes, 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 6/12 FG, +8

Portis is one of the few Bucks who looks comfortable with the offence running through him; he was productive again with a typical “Bobby Buckets” 14 and nine. BP set the tone on the defensive glass, helping limit the Pacers to just seven offensive rebounds, and even dropped a dime to Jericho Sims for a jam. Importantly, he wasn’t burned by the Pascal Siakam matchup either—Spicy P finished with a very quiet 15 points.

33 minutes, 23 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 10/15 FG, 2/5 3PT, +18

Rollins put on a masterpiece, sending a message to Doc Rivers to play him more minutes. He missed his first shot but then went on to knock down eight in a row, proving the perfect yin to Porter’s yang. At one point, he hit a crossover-into-step-back three that was reminiscent of Damian Lillard and ended the game with zero turnovers. What more does he have to do?

20 minutes, 6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 steal, 4 turnovers, 3/3 FG, +13

Despite coughing it up four times, Sims played another strong game overall. His newfound ability to power dunk without the power dribble (thanks, Finn) has made such a difference to his offensive game; plus, he continues to rebound well. Yes, Sims is limited, but he can be really valuable in his role and was so last night.

16 minutes, 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 5 fouls, 2/4 FG, 1/2 3PT, +20

Harris continues to be the plus/minus darling of the team, posting a whopping +20 in just 16 minutes of game time. Rarely anything but a steady veteran presence, this game was no different for Harris, who shot when he was open and otherwise kept the ball moving. He just knows how to play.

For some reason, Rivers brought Rollins off the bench for the third game in a row. He ended up playing 33 minutes; however, with Gary Trent Jr. forced out early with a calf contusion and Green in foul trouble, it remains to be seen if this was Rivers’ intention or not. Otherwise, Doc called two timeouts just a minute apart in the fourth when the Pacers were on a run, and while the Bucks didn’t score immediately out of these, they—along with the substitutions made—did enough to break the momentum.

Limited Minutes: Gary Trent Jr., Amir Coffey.

Garbage Time: Pete Nance, Cole Anthony, Andre Jackson Jr.

DNP-CD: Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Mark Sears.

Inactive: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Taurean Prince, Alex Antetokounmpo.

Turner missed his first five shots before finally converting on his sixth. Shortly after, he headed back to the locker room but returned to action late in the second quarter.The Pacers were called for a backcourt violation in the first quarter and another in the third. They are now tied with the Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies (6) for most in the league.Speaking of violations, Sims was called for an offensive 3-second violation to end the third quarter—the first of the season for a Buck.The teams combined to shoot just 3/16 from three in the first quarter, one of which was an absurd Porter turnaround from the corner to beat the shot clock.The Bucks held the Pacers scoreless until the 9:26 minute mark of the second quarter while putting up seven points of their own. It would be the defining run of the game.Giannis played three-on-three yesterday, suggesting he is ramping up towards a return—possibly this time next week!With last night’s game, Rollins has 29 double-digit scoring performances on the season. Last year, he had just 15 in total.The Bucks held the Pacers to just 68 points through three quarters and 94 on the night—an opponent low on the season (and just the second time they’ve held a team under 100).

After a Christmas pitstop, the Bucks head to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies for the third leg of their five-game road trip. You can find all the action on FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin—tip off is at 7:00 p.m. Central.
