Indiana wins again, beats Bucks 113-97
(INDIANAPOLIS) - For three weeks, Indiana found ways to fill the void left by Victor Oladipo's absence. When the All-Star guard returned from a sore right knee Wednesday, the Pacers proved they could plug holes in other ways, too. Thaddeus Young scored a season-high 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Myles Turner added 23 points and the league's stingiest defense held Milwaukee's vaunted offense in check long enough to pull away for a 113-97 victory. The Pacers dominated the NBA's top rebounding team, 55-43 overall and 14-9 on the offensive end. They went 12 of 30 on 3-pointers and held the league's highest-scoring team nearly 22 points below its season average. Even the return of All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo from a sore neck didn't really help Milwaukee, which has lost three of its last four road games. The victory moves Indiana within a half-game of the division lead. But on a night the Pacers seemed to do nothing wrong, little went right for Milwaukee. Eric Bledsoe led the Bucks with a season-high 26 points on 11-of-16 shooting. Brook Lopez added 15 but was 4 of 12 on 3-pointers. Antetokounmpo had 10 rebounds and seven assists along with his 12 points but also was called for five fouls and didn't play like his typical self.
