Michael Redd scored 37 points and Andrew Bogut had 17 points and 11 rebounds, leading the Milwaukee Bucks to a 104-92 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night.
Redd scored 10 in the fourth quarter, playing every minute of the second half and 45 minutes overall as the Bucks won for only the second time in eight games.
Mike Dunleavy scored 22 points and Danny Granger added 20 for Indiana, which has lost three of four since star forward Jermaine O'Neal went out with a knee injury. He has a bruised left knee that's expected to keep him out at least two weeks.
Milwaukee took charge late in the third quarter, using a 21-6 run to open a safe lead Indiana never threatened. The Pacers missed nine consecutive shots to end the third and open the fourth quarter, allowing the Bucks to pull away.
Redd hit a 3-pointer and Bogut followed with a dunk to give the Bucks a 93-82 lead with 5:06 left.

Diener scored 15 points and had nine assists with only one turnover in a career-high 40 minutes. Kareem Rush had 14 points and Jeff Foster tied a season-high with 13 points for Indiana.
Dunleavy, rebounding from a 2-for-12, 10-point game in the Pacers' loss at Chicago Wednesday night, had 10 points in the third, and made a 19-footer to give the Pacers a 69-65 lead with 5:45 left in the quarter. Indiana went cold for nearly 12 minutes after that basket, as Milwaukee took an 86-75 lead on Charlie Bell's baseline 3 with 7:18 left in the fourth.
The Bucks took the lead for good during the run on Royal Ivey's 3, making it 77-75 with 10:07 to go in the fourth. Granger broke the Pacers' drouught with a jumper to pull Indiana within 86-77 with 6:59 left.
Redd hit a pair of free throws with 18 seconds left in the second to cap a 23-point first half, giving the Bucks a 52-50 halftime lead.
