The Indiana Pacers came away with a big 94-91 victory on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Milwaukee, WI – The Indiana Pacers came away with another big game tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks by a final score of 94-91. It was a big win for the Pacers against a confident 17-16 rival in the Central Division.
After a very rough start to the season, the Pacers have been rebounding nicely ever since the roster began getting back to full health. They are looking more and more like a legitimate playoff contending team, and won this game without both George Hill and C.J. Watson in the lineup. Indiana is playing hard each and every night, and they are playing for each other as well.
