Pacers 109, Bucks 103 (OT): Rodney Stuckey tallied 25 points and six assists coming off the bench as host Indiana outlasted Milwaukee to extend its season-best winning streak to seven games.

Luis Scola collected 17 points and a season-high 15 rebounds in a reserve role for the Pacers, whose reserves outscored their Milwaukee counterparts 52-10. George Hill also contributed 17 points and C.J. Miles added 14 for Indiana.

Michael Carter-Williams turned in his best game since joining the Bucks with 28 points, eight rebounds and four steals and Ersan Ilyasova added 19 points and 10 rebounds. Khris Middleton scored 18 points and Zaza Pachulia contributed 16 points and 12 boards.

The Bucks led 31-19 after one quarter, but Indiana's reserves caught fire in the second quarter and the Pacers pulled ahead briefly before trailing 53-51 at the break. Miles and C.J. Watson hit back-to-back triples to give the Pacers their largest lead of the game at 79-71 and Stuckey's 3-pointer with 17 seconds left in the third quarter made it 82-74 going to the fourth.

Indiana led 96-91 before going scoreless over the final 2:45 of regulation and Ilyasova scored the final five points of the period before Middleton rimmed out a potential game-winning jumper in the final seconds. Milwaukee didn't connect on a field goal in overtime until Middleton's 3-pointer with 1:29 left cut the deficit to 105-101, and the Bucks didn't get any closer as Stuckey and Hill each hit a pair of free throws to finish it off.
