The Pacers weren't quite finished, cutting the lead to 99-90 on Ethan Thompson's 3-pointer with 4:35 left. That was as close as they got.
The Pacers were without Isaiah Jackson, who suffered a concussion during Monday’s game.
Antetokounmpo, the two-time MVP, is nursing a right calf strain.
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle’s quest for his 1,000th NBA coaching victory was denied again. He’ll become the 11th coach in NBA history to reach the milestone with his next victory.
