For as long as three is greater than two, the Pacers have a dilemma.
Milwaukee offered the latest reminder of that at Bankers Life Fieldhouse Saturday, outscoring the frazzled home team by 21 points from behind the 3-point line. That was more than enough in its 116-100 victory, which handed the Pacers a third consecutive loss.
The Bucks hit 17-of-31 3-point shots and got double-figure scoring efforts from the likes of Thon Maker, Tony Snell, Malcolm Brogdon and Mirza Teletovic, which made the absence of starters Jabari Parker and Khris Middleton seem like not such a big deal after all.
