Major Key For Milwaukee: Make PG-13’s Life Difficult

The Milwaukee Bucks are 3-0 against the Indiana Pacers this season, and it isn’t difficult to figure out why Indiana has struggled when playing the Bucks this season. Milwaukee hasn’t let Paul George do much of anything.

In the first match-up between these two teams, George did manage 23 points. It took him 20 shots to get there though, and on the other side of things Giannis put up 27 points on 18 shots.

In game two, PG-13 wasn’t able to get rolling at all. He managed just 13 points on 11 field goal attempts. Antetokounmpo outplayed George in that game as well, putting up 20 points on just nine attempted shots.

Finally, when these two teams met in March the Bucks won once again thanks to the Greek Freak besting Paul George. George managed 18 points on 14 shots, while Giannis scored 21 points on 13 shots.

This isn’t tough to figure out. When Giannis holds Paul George to an inefficient scoring night and goes off on the other end, the Pacers don’t have the firepower to keep up with the Bucks. The Greek Freak can make this game much easier for Milwaukee if he continues to handle PG-13 like he has all season long.
