No Milwaukee player managed above 11 points as the Bucks (5 - 8) were pulverized by the Indiana Pacers (8 - 5) at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Pacers have now won five or their last six, due in large part to the extremely high - caliber play of star small forward Paul George. Despite having an off shooting night (just 6 - for - 17), George contributed positively to the Indiana effort, tallying seven rebounds and seven assists whle playing outstanding perimeter defense. Indiana on the whole shot the lights out, hitting 52 percent of their shots from the field and 50 percent of their three - point attempts. Indiana's team defense also looked beautiful, as the Bucks were held to just 29 percent from beyond the arc and committed 23 turnovers. While things were firing on all cyllinders for Indiana, the same did n't hold true on the Bucks' side of things. 20 - year - old small forward Giannis "The Greek Freak" Antetenkoumpo had a rare inefficient night from the field, tallying just nine points on 3 - for - 8 shooting. Point guard Michael Carter-Williams also struggled, posting just three assists while turning the ball over three times. Saturday marked the Bucks' third straight loss, a trend they will look to combat as they prepare for a home matchup against the Pistons. The Pacers, meanwhile, will look to continue their hot streak as they travel to Washington to take on the Wizards.
