The NBA scoring leader made 11 of 20 shots from the field and 8 of 13 from the line while adding five assists. Brook Lopez scored 16 points and Bobby Portis Jr. had 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Bucks, who outscored the Pacers 67-48 after halftime.

Bucks star Giannis Antetkounmpo had a slow start in the first half after his return from an illness. But he fueled a second-half comeback for a divisional win.

The Milwaukee Bucks had to dig deep on the road against the Indiana Pacers falling behind by as much as 19 in the third quarter, but an inspired turnaround performance by Giannis Antetokounmpo and contributions from much of the non-star lineup would do the job as they walk away 120-112 victors.
