Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Feb. 11 at Indiana Pacers
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks took an L last night. Can they bounce back when the team travels to Indiana to take on the Pacers on Saturday?
The Milwaukee Bucks look like they need to take a few weeks to sort things out and find themselves. Unfortunately that’s not exactly an option, considering the Indiana Pacers are waiting in Indianapolis to play the Bucks on Saturday night.
Milwaukee is 1-0 against Indiana this season, although their last match-up against this team feels like it happened a decade ago. Both the Pacers and Bucks are completely different teams at this point.
Indiana is currently holding onto the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference, and after a hot streak that saw the Pacers win seven straight games they’re cooled down a bit, losing their last two straight.
