There were optimistic signs for the Atlanta Hawks on Friday evening but the result on the scoreboard was an unfavorable one against the Denver Nuggets. Little more than 36 hours later, the Hawks will be on the floor again on Sunday afternoon and, this time, it is Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on the other side.
The Bucks enter the game with a 3-2 record that features losses to only the Cavs and Celtics. Antetokounmpo presents issues for virtually every team in the NBA but, in the case of Atlanta, it will be interesting to see how Mike Budenholzer approaches a player with Antetokounmpo’s size and immense production.
