The Milwaukee Bucks outlasted the Indiana Pacers 105-99 for the first three-game win streak this season on Friday night.
Kevin Porter Jr. dropped 23 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds, Ryan Rollins added 22, and Bobby Portis with 21 points for the Bucks.
On the other hand, Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with 22 points, and Pascal Siakam had 19.
The Pacers rallied with a 15-0 run in the fourth quarter to pull to 91-87 with 4:11 remaining, as Ben Sheppard missed a three-pointer that would have made it a one-possession game.
Porter Jr. hit a driving layup to start a 7-0 run that gave the Bucks some breathing room.
The Bucks outrebounded the Pacers 48-37 and had a 17-8 edge in second-chance points as Jericho Sims had a career-high 15 rebounds to go along with four points, while Myls Turner had nine and 10 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo missed his sixth game in a row since straining his right calf on Jan. 23, and the Bucks are 6-14 without him this season.
Kyle Kuzma was also sidelined due to calf soreness.
Ivica Zubac and Kobe Brown did not play one night after they were acquired at the trade deadline.
The Pacers are at Toronto on Sunday, while the Bucks are at Orlando on Monday night.
