The former USC Trojans star got it going with the starting unit, as Porter came up with 24 points on 8/13 shooting from the floor and 6/9 shooting from the foul line, while adding six rebounds, five assists and three steals in 38 minutes. Despite his high usage, he only committed a turnover.
Meanwhile, Rollins provided Milwaukee with a big lift off the bench, as he poured in 23 points on 10/15 shooting from the field with a couple of 3-pointers to go along with seven rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes.
Bucks hoping to sustain their form after win against Indiana
Even though the Pacers aren’t exactly a formidable opponent, the Bucks will take any win against any team on any given night, as they look to build some consistency while waiting for two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo to come back from a calf injury.
But it would also be great for Milwaukee if players outside of Porter and Rollins begin stepping up as well, including the likes of Myles Turner and Kyle Kuzma.
Looking ahead, Milwaukee will lock horns with the Memphis Grizzlies on the road this coming Friday.
