Bucks 97, Pacers 95
Andrew Bogut’s tip as time expired gave the host Milwaukee Bucks a 97-95 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
Bogut finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds while Brandon Jennings scored 22 points and Ersan Ilyasova added 21 off the bench for the Bucks, who scored at least 95 points for the first time in five games.
The Pacers had a chance to win it at the end but Roy Hibbert’s jumper missed everything, giving the Bucks one last chance with 0.5 seconds on the clock. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute threw it up toward the rim and Bogut got there for the tip and the win.
Milwaukee built as much as a five-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but Indiana came back, taking a 91-90 lead on Danny Granger’s jumper with 3:50 left. The Bucks reclaimed the lead on Ilyasova’s free throws with 49 seconds remaining before Granger knotted it with a jumper 16 seconds later.
Granger scored 26 points and Darren Collison added 17 for Indiana, which has lost three of four.
