MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd needed plenty of superlatives to describe Thursday nights victory.Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker had 27 points each to lead the Bucks past the Indiana Pacers 125-107.You could see right off the bat they were ready, Kidd said of the dynamic duo. They took good shots. They shared the ball. If they had an open shot, they took it. If not, they got off of it. They made good, quick decisions. When you do that, youre going to score a lot of points.Kidd has turned the offense over to Antetokounmpo, and the 6-foot-11, 222-pound guard has responded. He had nine assists and seven rebounds and his running mate, Parker, made a career-high four 3-pointers and grabbed eight rebounds.Kidd also got production out of Greg Monroe, who added 16 points, 16 rebounds and six assists, and Tony Snell, the newcomer acquired from the Chicago Bulls for Michael Carter-Williams, had 14 points, including a 3 at the buzzer that gave Milwaukee a 63-57 lead at halftime.Everybody was great, Kidd said. Everybody who participated did their job and stayed in character. It was a great team win against a talented, well-coached team.Paul George scored 23 points, reserve C.J. Miles added 19, Jeff Teague had 16 and Myles Turner 15, but it wasnt enough as the Pacers slipped to 0-3 on the road.When Parker hit from in close and then from beyond the arc to open the fourth quarter, it looked like the Bucks would coast to their third win of the season.Indiana had other ideas and closed with a flurry led by George who hit a 3-pointer with 9:28 to go, cutting the deficit to 95-82. When Turner made two free throws and Thaddeus Young hit a basket, the Bucks lead was nine.After a steal by Monta Ellis who dished to George for another basket, the Pacers trailed by seven with 4:11 to play, but that was as close as they got. Snell hit a 3-pointer, Miles Plumlee dunked and Antetokounmpo scored in traffic to push the lead to 14 points and the Bucks regained control of the game.George was not happy with the outcome, despite coming close down the stretch.Im real frustrated, he said. I know how good we could be. I know how good we were. Were nowhere close to it. Its embarrassing the way were playing and we look on the floor right now.Miles agreed with his teammates assessment.Were not tied together, man, he said. You can see it. You can see it. Were not showing no spirit, no heart. You dont see guys getting excited about anything.Parker sparked the Bucks with nine points as Milwaukee opened the third quarter with some energy, attacked the boards on both ends and pulled away to a 74-61 lead. Parker hit a 3, two driving dunks and a putback before George stopped the surge with a wide-open 3-pointer with 7:03 left in the quarter. But the Bucks were off and running again, building the lead to as many as 17.You look at what Jabari did tonight, catch-and-shoot, making plays for his teammates, Kidd said. He scored. He made the extra pass. Thats his game. Hes the total package.Malcom Brogdon, the Bucks second-round draft pick from Virginia, scored 12 points, including two free throws that pushed the margin to 90-73 with seconds left in the third.TIP-INSPacers: G Rodney Stuckey missed his third consecutive game with a right hamstring strain. ...

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams barely had time to process the news that head coach Jeff Fisher was being fired before starting preparations to play the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.That was especially true for interim coach John Fassel.Fassel found out an hour before he was set to lead a special teams meeting Monday that Fisher had been fired after going 31-45-1 since becoming head coach of the Rams in 2012. He met with Fisher to get his blessing to take over for the final three weeks before sit-downs with Executive Vice President Kevin Demoff, general manager Les Snead, and the teams medical staff. Fassel then oversaw an hour-long walk-through as the Rams began on-field preparations to face the NFC West leaders.Fassel did not even have time to let his father, former New York Giants head coach Jim Fassel, know he was now in charge of an NFL team.A lot has happened in a little amount of time, said Fassel, who has been the Rams special teams coordinator for five seasons. It will be an interesting couple days. It happened fast. Football, you got to be able to adapt and react and this is one of those situations you cant ever really prepare for.The last 24 hours Ive been learning on the fly, he added. Its been an incredible experience. I would love to know everything Coach Fisher knows. Just there are so many things and Ill never learn all of it, but its interesting to be on that side of it.Even as Rams players expressed their disappointment with Fishers firing and regret that their performances in recent weeks had cost the job of a coach who was well-liked and respected in the locker room, everyone understood the need to pivot quickly on a short week.Cant help but feel some type of responsibility, but Seattles not going to care how we feel. Our last three oppponents arent going to care how we feel, safety T.dddddddddddd. McDonald said. We just know we got to go out and keep playing, keep fighting and get better every week.The Rams have actually fared quite well against the Seahawks in recent years, winning three straight games and four of the last five. The Rams first game back in Los Angeles after 22 years was a 9-3 win over the Seahawks in September during which the Rams allowed just 67 yards rushing and sacked quarterback Russell Wilson twice.Usually its a knockdown dragout all the way to the last play and we see that same type of game coming, linebacker Alec Ogletree said.Leaning on that familiarity is critical, as there simply isnt enough time to make dramatic changes. The Rams had one more practice Tuesday before traveling to Seattle on Wednesday.Fassel acknowledged it felt strange taking on a more prominent role with the offense and defense.I kind of had to find my place, where Im supposed to be, Fassel said. Im used to being with the specialists or bouncing around and talking to the guys on the sideline. No manual for it and I just tried to find my spot.In spite of the turmoil and short turnaround, defensive tackle Aaron Donald expects the Rams to respond well this week.Were playing a team we know and its usually a dogfight when we play these guys, so we know what to expect, Donald. We got the mindset of going in there and trying to get a win.Game notes Safety Maurice Alexander (concussion), running back Benny Cunningham (neck) and cornerback E.J. Gaines (thigh) did not practice for the second consecutive day.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
