On a three-game road trip, the reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks wrapped up their journey with a 119-109 win over the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse arena on Monday, October 26, 2021.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 30 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists. Khris Middleton added 27 points, and the team took advantage of 19 turnovers by the Pacers.
"It was really aggressive Giannis tonight," said Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer. "At the same time, he (was) making reads, making great passes. When he’s attacking like that, that’s when we are at our best. He had that extra gear tonight."
Malcolm Brogdon led the Pacers with 25 points, and forward Domantas Sabonis scored 21 points and grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds. Indiana rookie Chris Duarte continued his strong start, finishing with 18 points.
The game got testy in the fourth quarter when Bucks George Hill was slapped with a technical after getting tied up with Pacers Brogdon under Indiana’s basket. Pacers Goga Bitadze, of Georgia, was also given a technical on the play.
