Pacers 110, Bucks 100: Paul George poured in 32 points and David West added 30 as visiting Indiana held off lowly Milwaukee.

Lance Stephenson tallied 24 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for the Pacers, who have won four straight and nine of 11 in the series. West was 11-of-16 from the floor and George went 10-for-18, hitting five of his seven 3-point attempts as Indiana went 9-for-18 from behind the arc.

Brandon Knight racked up 30 points and eight assists as the Bucks trailed from wire to wire for the eighth time this season. Khris Middleton added 13 points and Ersan Ilyasova scored 12 for Milwaukee.

Indiana never trailed but had a tough time putting the Bucks away as Milwaukee kept the deficit in single digits for most of the second half. It was within 85-80 with 8:23 left, but Stephenson converted a three-point play and the Bucks never got that close again.

The Pacers reeled off a 17-2 run early in the second quarter to open up a 22-point advantage and appeared poised to turn it into a rout. Knight led Milwaukee back, scoring 20 first-half points and helping the Bucks trim the margin to 51-39 at the break.
