Despite a couple of solid performances by two players with Wisconsin ties, the Indiana Pacers fell to the Milwaukee Bucks 128-119.
Oshkosh North graduate Tyrese Haliburton scored 17 points and had 8 assists for the Pacers, while UW Green Bay alum Keifer Sykes added 10 points while dishing out 5 assists.
Milwaukee was led by a phenomenal performance by Giannis Antetokounmpo, which gave some flashbacks to Game Six of the NBA Finals.
The Greek Freak lived up to his name scoring 50 points and snagging 14 rebounds. Khris Middleton added 19 points.
The win combined with a loss by the Miami Heat moves the Bucks to within a game and a half of the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat and Chicago Bulls are currently tied in first place.
The Bucks will take the night off before playing the third game of their six-game homestand against the Philadelphia 76ers.
