It was early in Game 5 on Thursday night -- 2 minutes and 5 seconds in, to be exact -- and Jrue Holiday, open from 3, caught a wing pass from P.J. Tucker.
With injured Giannis Antetokounmpo sitting on the end of the bench in a cream-colored, long-sleeve T-shirt and gray sweatpants, the Bucks had roared into the game, the energy percolating inside Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
Holiday's 3 dropped, giving the Milwaukee Bucks a 10-2 lead and forcing an Atlanta Hawks timeout. It was the inverse of Tuesday's Game 4 in Atlanta, where without Trae Young, the Hawks jolted to an early 10-2 lead, forcing a Bucks timeout.
