Struggling with early-season injuries and the adjustment to a new coaching staff, Ersan Ilyasova hasn't quite been himself for the Milwaukee Bucks. That is beginning to change, just as the Bucks reach the most critical point of their playoff push.

Ilyasova followed up a recent run of good performances with a breakthrough game, scoring a career-high 34 points in the Bucks' 111-107 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night. George Hill missed a potential tying 3-pointer in the closing seconds for struggling Indiana.

Khris Middleton added 17 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo had 16 for the Bucks. They have won two straight after breaking a six-game losing streak. Ilyasova was 12-of-14 from the field and 5-of-6 from 3-point range.
