The Milwaukee Bucks take an easy win over the Indiana Pacers 140-113 in last nights performance. Giannis Antetokounmpo was out due to injury to his left knee. Jrue Holliday led the way with 28 points and 14 assists to keep the Bucks rolling on their seven game winning streak. The Bucks shot 61% from beyond the arc and 56% overall. Coach Budenholzer does not know if Giannis will be playing in tonights game against the Celtics. With Giannis out, Connaughton made his first starting appearance shooting 6-7 from three and helped out the team with his 20 points. The Bucks had made a trade earlier in the week for Forward P.J. Tucker from the Houston Rockets. The Pacers on the other hand, have multiple injuries to some key players on their team. Malcom Brogdon, Miles Turner, and T.J. Warren. Coach Bjorkgren believe’s Brogdon and Turner’s injuries are minor and should return to the lineup soon enough. Buck’s had a hot start since the beginning of the game going 9-10 from three leading 48-26 by the end of the first quarter. Milwaukee continued to keep hitting their shots leading them to the big victory. Bucks look to keep the streak going even with Giannis out, if they keep hitting their shots, they should be fine.

Recently the Bucks have been hot lately, seven in a row is really impressive. The Bucks shooting 56% from the field is really good, surprised they shot this well without Giannis on the floor. Jrue stepped up when the team needed him the most and had a game for himself. If the Bucks keep this up they can make a deep playoff run.
