INDIANAPOLIS, April 6 (UPI) -- Danny Granger had 27 points and seven rebounds Sunday to lead the Indiana Pacers to a comeback 105-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Milwaukee led 52-49 at halftime, but the Bucks came back to grab a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. Granger made a key bucket when Milwaukee came within 91-82 with about six minutes left in the game.

Travis Diener scored 15 of his 18 points in the fourth period. Mike Dunleavy had 17 points and seven assists. Jeff Foster scored 16 with 15 rebounds while Troy Murphy added 13 points for the Pacers, who kept their slim playoff hopes alive.

They face Atlanta Tuesday in the battle for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Atlanta has a three-game lead over the Pacers.

Milwaukee was led by Michael Redd's 24 points with seven rebounds. Charlie Villanueva had 22 points and 13 rebounds, and Andrew Bogut added 16 points and 14 rebounds for the Bucks, who have lost six of their last eight contests.
