MILWAUKEE — The Indiana Pacers pulled up in what seems like the Terror Dome for NBA opponents, Fiserv Forum, where the Milwaukee Bucks have been giving it to boyz all season. The NBA leading Bucks showed no mercy to the Pacers as they beat the doors, transmission, back seats and wheels of Indiana for the fourth straight time.
When the smoke cleared The Greek Freak and Co. blasted them 117-89 before heading to Big Momma’s house for Sunday dinner. Giannis Antetokounmpo gave them the business with 18 points, 19 rebounds and 9 assists to lead the Bucks. Wesley Matthews dropped 19 on them just to keep boyz honest.
They did give Malcolm Brogdon, who was drafted by the Bucks and played there for three seasons, some love with a video tribute before the game.
He was grateful for the love. “It was great to be back in Fiserv,” Brogdon said after the game. “These fans have been amazing to me. They were amazing to me tonight. They’ve been amazing to be the past three years. Just incredibly thankful for them.”
However, they didn’t show him any mercy as they did work on his new team. Although the Pacers moved the ball well with 27 total assists. They struggled to shoot the ball in all three areas. They shot only 37 percent from the field, 30 percent from behind the arc and a mere 60 percent from the free throw line.
Indiana was led by Domantas Sabonis with 19 points and 18 rebounds. Even in a blowout loss on the road he was still a double-double machine. Doug McDermott came off of the bench with 15 points. Both Aaron Holiday and Myles Turner dropped off 11 points each.
Hey sometimes you run into a bear in the middle of the forest and there’s nothing you can do. Milwaukee’s got the best record in the league and they’ve been terrorizing everybody. It is what it is. Up next the Pacers host the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
