MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Glenn Robinson scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Indiana Pacers 109-95 Saturday night.

Danny Manning came off the bench and had a season-high 19 points for the Bucks, who had lost 10 straight to the Pacers. Their last win was March 16, 1997.

Reggie Miller led the Pacers with 21 points and Jalen Rose added 19. Dale Davis had 18 points and 15 rebounds but it wasn't enough.

Robinson had 13 points in the fourth quarter as the Bucks, who led 80-77 after three quarters, opened the period with a 24-12 run. The 15-point lead was the Bucks' biggest of the game and they made it stand up after losing an earlier 13-point advantage in the third quarter.

Trailing 67-54, Indiana used a 19-4 run sparked by Rose's three layups and a 3-pointer to regain a 73-71 lead with 3:37 left in the third.

Ray Allen, who had 16 points, brought the Bucks right back with two free throws and a three-point play during a 9-4 surge that gave Milwaukee an 80-77 lead after three.

The Bucks, who trailed throughout most of the first half, led 56-52 at the break.

Notes: Both teams shot well in the first half. The Bucks were 53.5 percent (23-of-43) from the floor while the Pacers were 50 percent (20-of-40). ... When Ervin Johnson picked up his third foul in the first quarter, Bucks coach George Karl inserted Robert Traylor who lost his starting spot at forward nine games ago. ... In the first period, Referee Jim Kinsey called technicals on Williams and Karl. Hue Hollins called one on the Pacers' Rik Smits. ... Bucks wives and Marine Corps reservists collected toys and money before the game. The gifts go to needy children in the area.
