In their first matchup since last year’s playoffs, the Milwaukee Bucks were able to defeat the Indiana Pacers behind the strong play of Giannis Antetokounmpo, 129-119.
The Bucks started this one on the right foot, fueling themselves to an 8-0 run to begin things. Bobby Portis got into the scoring with a pair of triples midway through the quarter to rev up the crowd. He then buried a nifty floating 3-pointer buzzer beater to close things out. Mix that in with 13 points from Giannis and seven from Dame and you get a 34-22 Bucks lead heading into the second quarter.
