Giannis Antetokounmpo sank a 17-foot jumper at the buzzer to lift the Milwaukee Bucks to a 117–115 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night in Indianapolis.

Antetokounmpo finished with 33 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists, making 14 of his 21 field-goal attempts. Kyle Kuzma added 15 points in the victory.

The Bucks controlled most of the game but faced a late rally from the Pacers, who were missing several key players due to injuries. Indiana’s comeback fell short in the final seconds as Antetokounmpo sealed the win with his decisive shot.

The result improved Milwaukee’s standing in the NBA and added another clutch moment to Antetokounmpo’s record. Fans in Indianapolis witnessed a close and hard-fought contest as both teams delivered strong performances on the court.
