MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Tyler Herro had 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists as
the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Indiana Pacers 110-102 on Monday night for
their first win of the season.
The Bucks avoided their first 0-4 start since 1976-77, when they dropped their
first five games and went on to finish 30-52.
Ryan Rollins scored 19 points, Kyle Kuzma scored 17 and Kel'el Ware scored 16
for the Bucks. Ware also had 14 rebounds for his second straight double-double.
Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton had 22 points, nine assists and six rebounds.
Pascal Siakam collected 20 points, 13 rebounds and six assists.
The Pacers were playing one night after a 136-109 victory at Brooklyn in which
center Ivica Zubac sprained his left ankle, leaving him unavailable for
Monday's game.
Indiana also was missing T.J. McConnell (hamstring strain), Andrew Nembhard
(back) and Ben Sheppard (meniscus tear).
An Indiana turnover led to a Nate Ament dunk that broke an 86-86 tie and put
Milwaukee ahead for good with 10:08 left. Ament's dunk started an 8-0 run, as
Indiana missed its first six shots of the fourth quarter.
Milwaukee led 101-92 midway through the fourth quarter before Siakam scored six
straight points to cut the deficit to three. The Bucks gained some breathing
room with 3-pointers from Kasparas Jakucionis and Kuzma.
Myles Turner scored just six points for Milwaukee, but he had a number of key
defensive plays down the stretch and had an offensive rebound that led to
Kuzma's late 3-pointer.
The Fiserv Forum stands were less than one-third of the way full, as the game
took place while the Milwaukee Brewers were playing Game 3 of the World Series
at Tampa Bay. A score bug on the upper right corner of the video board above
midcourt allowed fans to follow the game.
