MILWAUKEE – Giannis Antetokounmpo reaffirmed his place among the NBA’s elite on Sunday night, delivering another commanding performance as the Milwaukee Bucks secured a 126-119 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The two-time MVP put up 34 points, leading his team in a high-energy battle against their Eastern Conference rival.
Antetokounmpo’s impact went beyond scoring, as he added 10 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks, showcasing his all-around brilliance. His efficiency was on full display, shooting an impressive 13-of-20 from the field while making key plays down the stretch to fend off the Pacers’ late push.
“It’s about setting the tone,” Antetokounmpo said postgame. “We know how important these games are, and we want to keep building momentum.”
The Bucks, now strengthening their position in the standings, benefited from key contributions beyond their superstar. Damian Lillard added 27 points and 8 assists, while Khris Middleton chipped in with 18 points, hitting clutch shots in the final minutes. Milwaukee’s balanced attack proved too much for an Indiana squad that refused to back down.
The Pacers, led by Tyrese Haliburton’s 30-point effort, kept the game competitive with their high-paced offense. Myles Turner added 22 points and 9 rebounds, but Indiana struggled to contain Antetokounmpo’s relentless drives and inside dominance.
With this victory, the Bucks continue to solidify their status as one of the East’s most formidable teams. Antetokounmpo’s latest performance serves as yet another reminder that his influence extends far beyond the box score—his leadership, intensity, and ability to deliver in critical moments keep Milwaukee in championship contention.
As the season progresses, the Bucks will look to build on this win, with Antetokounmpo leading the charge. If his latest showing is any indication, the Greek Freak remains one of the most unstoppable forces in the league.
