NBA -- Bucks end road drought with win over Pacers
By Vito Tito Jr PhilBoxing.com Wed, 05 Nov 2014

CHICAGO -- Brandon Knight drilled a pull up jumper with 22.9 seconds to go and the Milwaukee Bucks escaped with an 87-81 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
The victory improved the Bucks' record to 2-2. It also gave Milwaukee its first road win since February of last season.
The injury depleted Pacers played without Paul George, George Hill and David West. They fell to 1-3 in the Eastern Conference standings.
Knight finished with 23 points and seven assists while Giannis Antetokounmpo helped out with 11. Jerryd Bayless and rookie Jabari Parker finished with 10 each.
Milwaukee found a way to win despite going to the free throw line only seven times, converting six. They did, however, make 37 of 83 shots and 7 of 21 triples.
"I think the guys in the locker room see the things we've gone through early, giving up leads, not finishing games, and having turnovers on the road. Being able to address those, build on them, make it a positive and finally get a win on the road was great," a relieved Bucks head coach Jaosn Kidd told ESPN.
Chris Copeland led the Pacers with 19. Roy Hibbert had 16 and seven boards and Solomon Hill added 12.
