MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Tyler Herro had 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists as the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Indiana Pacers 110-102 on Monday night for their first win of the season.<\/p>\n
The Bucks avoided their first 0-4 start since 1976-77, when they dropped their first five games and went on to finish 30-52.<\/p>\n
Ryan Rollins scored 19 points, Kyle Kuzma scored 17 and Kel’el Ware scored 16 for the Bucks. Ware also had 14 rebounds for his second straight double-double.<\/p>\n
Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton had 22 points, nine assists and six rebounds. Pascal Siakam collected 20 points, 13 rebounds and six assists.<\/p>\n
The Pacers were playing one night after a 136-109 victory at Brooklyn in which center Ivica Zubac sprained his left ankle, leaving him unavailable for Monday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
Indiana also was missing T.J. McConnell (hamstring strain), Andrew Nembhard (back) and Ben Sheppard (meniscus tear).<\/p>\n
An Indiana turnover led to a Nate Ament dunk that broke an 86-86 tie and put Milwaukee ahead for good with 10:08 left. Ament\u2019s dunk started an 8-0 run, as Indiana missed its first six shots of the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Milwaukee led 101-92 midway through the fourth quarter before Siakam scored six straight points to cut the deficit to three. The Bucks gained some breathing room with 3-pointers from Kasparas Jaku\u010dionis and Kuzma.<\/p>\n
Myles Turner scored just six points for Milwaukee, but he had a number of key defensive plays down the stretch and had an offensive rebound that led to Kuzma’s late 3-pointer.<\/p>\n
The Fiserv Forum stands were less than one-third of the way full, as the game took place while the Milwaukee Brewers were playing Game 3 of the World Series at Tampa Bay. A score bug on the upper right corner of the video board above midcourt allowed fans to follow the game.<\/p>\n
Pacers: Host Philadelphia on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Bucks: Host Houston on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
