Giannis Antetokounmpo Lifts Bucks Over Pacers with Triple-Double Performance

Giannis Antetokounmpo gets his second triple double of the season and the Bucks beat the Indiana Pacers in an exciting NBA CUP game 129-117.

An Unstoppable Win for the Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks came out strong, scoring the first 10 points of the game, and finished the first quarter with a 34-22 lead. Antetokounmpo showed his great level from the start, scoring 13 points in the first 12 minutes.

Pacers Struggle to Close the Gap

Although the Indiana Pacers began to respond in the final quarter with a 16-3 run that brought them within six points of the Bucks (108-102) with 5:52 remaining, it wasn’t enough. Milwaukee’s defense withstood the pressure, and despite strong efforts from Pascal Siakam (25 points) and Benedict Mathurin (20 points and 9 rebounds), the Pacers were defeated, extending their losing streak to five of their last six games.

Bucks’ Dominance and NBA Odds

Collective Performance from the Bucks

Team play was key for the Bucks, with six players reaching double figures in points.  Gary Trent Jr. contributed 18 points, Bobby Portis scored 17, and Brook Lopez added 11. This level of team play clearly reflects the NBA ODDS, which favor the Bucks as one of the most complete teams in the league this season.

Looking Ahead

With this victory, Milwaukee continues to demonstrate its power and ability to overcome challenges, generating great interest in future bets.
