Bucks 99, Pacers 85: Guards Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis scored 16 points apiece and host Milwaukee led wire-to-wire in a rout of Indiana.
Samuel Dalembert tied his season high with 14 points and the Bucks jumped out to a 16-point first-quarter lead in snapping a five-game losing streak against the Pacers.
Milwaukee removed any suspense from the game right from the opening tip, scoring the first seven points and bolting to a 20-6 lead midway through the first quarter on a 3-pointer by Jennings.
Reserve Tyler Hansbrough had a team-high 17 points in the second straight dismal offensive showing for Indiana, which suffered a 74-72 home loss to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
Dalembert had all his points at halftime as the Bucks never eased up and extended the lead to 60-34 at the break and 82-53 after three quarters. Tobias Harris added 11 points and rookie John Henson had 10 for Milwaukee, which had 11 steals and committed only six turnovers.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Bucks forward Larry Sanders committed a Flagrant 1 foul against Hansbrough in the third quarter with Milwaukee leading by 29 points. In the last meeting between the teams in April, Sanders was ejected after the Pacers committed a hard foul on Mike Dunleavy. ... Paul George was the only starter in double figures for Indiana with 12 points. ... Jennings, who entered leading the league in steals, had his streak of seven straight multiple-steal games halted.
