The Bucks came back from 11 points down Monday to beat the Pacers 110-102, their first win under Taylor Jenkins. The win moved them from 14th to 12th, and the 4-0 Rockets come to Fiserv Forum on Wednesday.
October 21 to 24
The season opened with three losses: 116-128 at Washington, 125-132 at home to Chicago and 116-127 in Philadelphia. Herro and Jaquez carried the scoring, and Herro's 34 against the Bulls was the high mark. The defense gave up at least 127 points every night. Two trade reports surfaced that week, one on Porter and one on Porzingis, and neither came with terms.
October 26
Indiana's 12-0 run around the end of the opening quarter built the early cushion, and the Pacers led by 11 at their best. Milwaukee won the fourth 26-17. Tyler Herro finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, then sealed it with two free throws and a block inside the last 18 seconds. Ryan Rollins added 19, Kyle Kuzma hit 4 of 6 from deep, and Ware came off the bench for 16 points and 14 boards.
October 27
The best number from Monday belongs to Myles Turner, who was plus-14 in 28 minutes against his old club. Nate Ament was plus-12 in 14 minutes, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Jim Owczarski noted that the rookie found his footing after the half. Owczarski also flagged the free throw trouble that keeps following this team. At 1-3, Milwaukee sits a half game out of 10th and 1.5 back of sixth.
October 28
Houston arrives 4-0 under Ime Udoka, on its second straight night and second straight road game. Steven Adams is out with a right calf injury, and Marcus Smart is questionable with a left forearm problem. ESPN billed it as Houston chasing a fifth straight win. The question is whether a defense that held Indiana to 17 in the fourth can do the same against Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant.
When do the Bucks play the Rockets?
Milwaukee hosts Houston on Wednesday, October 28. The Rockets come in 4-0 and on no rest.
