After their tough loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, Indiana Pacers big man Domantas Sabonis surmised they are too intimidated by elite teams. He said this could be the main reason why the Pacers haven't gotten over the hump in the last few seasons.

Per Pacers beat reporter J. Michael, Sabonis shared his thoughts after their embarrassing 130-110 defeat to the Bucks. It was pretty much a blowout the entire game with Giannis Antetokounmpo and company leading by as much as 40 points. Sabonis believes that the Pacers need to change their mindset against the stacked squads.

The 24-year-old Sabonis had another big game with a game-high 33 points to go along with 12 rebounds and six assists. But his numbers weren't enough as they absorbed their 10th loss against 12 wins.

Justin Holiday added 15 points and eight rebounds, while Doug McDermott chipped in 13 markers and seven boards off the bench.

Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with a triple-double in just 31 minutes, finishing with 21 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. Six other Bucks scored in double digits led by Bryn Forbes who had 20 points off the bench.

The Bucks got too comfortable against the Pacers, Antetokounmpo even tried his hand at photography in the fourth quarter.

Sabonis, who's having a historic campaign, couldn't help but show frustration after another lopsided defeat. A few days ago, they were routed by the Los Angeles Clippers, 129-96. The last elite team that the Pacers faced was the Philadelphia 76ers, losing as well to the tune of 119-110.

Domantas Sabonis and the rest of the Pacers can bounce back on Friday when they host the New Orleans Pelicans.
