Back to back 3-pointers from Brogdon gave the Bucks (23-30) a commanding 106-88 lead with 2:34 remaining. That gave Milwaukee a season-high 17 made 3-pointers.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had a team-leading 20 for Milwaukee, Mirza Teletovic added 19 and Greg Monroe scored 17. Tony Snell scored 13.

Indiana scored the third quarter's first six points to slice the deficit to 62-58 at the 9:56 mark, prompting a Bucks timeout. An Antetokounmpo dunk with 6:30 left in the quarter pushed the Milwaukee lead to 71-62.
Led by Teletovic (13) and Monroe (11), the Bucks got 32 first-half points from their non-starters and led 62-52 through 24 minutes.
