Atlanta was unable to extend a four-game winning streak — including two wins over the NBA-leading Boston Celtics — on Saturday evening against the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite 38 points from Bogdan Bogdanovic, the Hawks fell 122-113 at State Farm Arena.
The Hawks came into Saturday night’s game at a massive size disadvantage against the exactly wrong team. With neither Jalen Johnson nor Onyeka Okongwu available, Atlanta’s options for trying to slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo were extremely limited. Antetokounmpo went on to drop 36 points and 16 rebounds against the likes of De’Andre Hunter, Clint Capela, and Bruno Fernando doing their best to slow him down.
