Turkish forward Ersan Ilyasova posted 34 points to help the Milwaukee Bucks to a 111-107 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Ilyasova was 12-of-14 from the field and scored 17 points in the first quarter at BMO Harris Bradley Center for his best tally since he was drafted by the Bucks in 2005.

Khris Middleton contributed 17 points, while team-mate Giannis Antetokounmpo added 16 of his own as the Bucks (35-36) claimed back-to-back wins.

CJ Miles (26 points) led the way for the Pacers (31-41), who have lost seven of their past eight games.

Milwaukee's lead was cut to four points with less than two minutes remaining after CJ Watson made two of three free throws.

Miles then missed a three-pointer for the Pacers, though the visitors received possession following a review and Roy Hibbert dropped a jumper to make it a two-point game with 19.9 seconds on the clock.

Antetokounmpo went up the other end and converted one of two free throws to extend the Bucks' lead and it proved to be enough as George Hill missed a game-tying shot beyond the arc with 1.8 seconds remaining.
