The NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks broke out of a mini slump and the Oklahoma City Thunder kept up their playoff push on Thursday (May 7).

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 29 points and made 12 rebounds as the first place Bucks regained their swagger by cruising to a 117-98 victory over the Indiana Pacers."We just tried to play hard and get back on track," Antetokounmpo said."We got back to our old habits and started defending and helping one another on defence."

The funk didn't last long, though, as they bounced back nicely against the Pacers. Khris Middleton added 27 points for the Bucks, who improved to a NBA-best 49-16 on the season."The last two games we had trouble holding onto a lead," said Middleton."It was great to get this win and get back to what we do."

"Too much Antetokounmpo, too much Middleton," Pacers coach Nate McMillan said."When they have the attack at the basket and are knocking down threes, they're going to be tough to guard. Milwaukee's Ersan Ilyasova sparked the run with a three pointer and Antetokounmpo capped it with a driving layup to make it 96-74 with 8:21 remaining.
