Having been in control virtually all throughout the game, the Milwaukee Bucks took care of business and handled the Indiana Pacers with relative ease on Wednesday night.
While there were brief moments of pressure, the Milwaukee Bucks cruised to a victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, winning 122-101.
The Bucks came out of the gate and found their rhythm not long after the opening jump as they drained 11 of their first 14 shots through the game’s opening several minutes. As it turned out, the Bucks’ fast start served as the basis for how they would eventually command the game and the Pacers as a whole.
However, it was in the second quarter when the Pacers gave the Bucks their biggest run for the money as they feasted down low for easy baskets, particularly by second-year big man Domantas Sabonis.

But as much as the Pacers closed the gap on the Bucks’ lead heading into halftime, the Bucks got right back to work right at the start of the third quarter and added some much needed cushion to their lead.
Before long, it was apparent that the Pacers couldn’t limit the damage the Bucks were inflicting on them, especially by the Bucks’ leading faces in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.
With only Middleton getting a good run of time in the fourth quarter from the team’s leading trio, the Bucks mostly relied on their vital role players and end of rotation guys to put on the finishing touches for the night and seal the victory officially.
So without further ado, let’s dive deeper into what and who stood out in the Bucks’ win over the Indiana Pacers Wednesday night.
