Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Win Over Indiana Pacers

President Off-Duty

Malcolm Brogdon is listed as day-to-day with a banged up back. He missed the Friday night game, which forced the Bucks to put the ball in the hands of their two stars. This led to many turnovers as the Bucks were forced to make a number of plays which they normally don’t attempt.

Khris Middleton finished the game with seven turnovers, as he was in charge of creating for the bench. He only had two assists, but he was moving the ball around the perimeter and finding shots for himself.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had six turnovers of his own, with the ball in his hands much, much more too. He fared a little better in the box score than Middleton with five assists. and did a great job controlling the tempo of the game, and attacking when he found himself a lane.

Matthew Dellavedova returned to the starting line up, needing to perform in that role. Without Brogdon, a heavy workload was expected for Dellavedova, but he only tallied 24 minutes of playing time. Both Jason Terry and Rashad Vaughn had more minutes. The Australian had three turnovers to three assists, scoring eight points on seven shots, for what it’s worth.
