Giannis Antetokounmpo Wins Bucks Season Opener Against Pacers with Buzzer-Beater

Giannis Antetokounmpo hit a dramatic 17-foot buzzer-beater to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 117-115 victory over the Indiana Pacers, marking Milwaukee's third win in four games. Antetokounmpo dominated the game with 33 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists, showcasing his exceptional scoring and leadership. The game was emotionally charged, particularly for Myles Turner, who faced boos from Pacers fans in his first game against his former team after joining the Bucks. Despite a strong comeback from Indiana, led by Pascal Siakam's 32 points and eight assists, the Bucks held on, with key contributions from Kyle Kuzma and others. The Pacers fought back from an 11-point deficit late in the game, but Antetokounmpo's clutch performance ultimately sealed the win. This victory highlights Giannis's status as one of the NBA's premier closers and underscores the Bucks' continued competitiveness this season.
