The Milwaukee Bucks finally broke their losing spell on Tuesday, as they turned away the Indiana Pacers in a 111-94 win on the road. That victory snapped a three-game skid for Milwaukee, which got a tremendous performance from Kevin Porter Jr., who continues to shine for the Bucks.
The former USC Trojans star led the way for Milwaukee with 24 points on 8/13 shooting from the floor. He did more than just score, though.

Porter shines anew for the Bucks in win against Pacers
Porter appears to have found a home with Milwaukee. Considered a reclamation project by the Bucks, Porter is currently averaging 20.4 points on a 50.4 percent shooting from the field and 48.3 percent shooting from behind the arc, 7.5 assists and 4.9 rebounds per outing. With Giannis Antetokounmpo still out with a calf injury, Porter has been playing a bigger role for Milwaukee, especially offensively.
The Bucks also got a shot in the arm in the Indiana game from Ryan Rollins, who came off the bench and scored 23 points on 10/15 shooting, including a couple of made shots from the 3-point area.
Milwaukee still has a big ground to gain to get back to .500, as the team is only 12-18 after the win over the Pacers.
Coming up next for the Bucks is a meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies this coming Friday in the third stop of Milwaukee’s five-game road trip.
