Another Game 1 for the Bucks and another blunder. The Atlanta Hawks would come in and steal the opening game of this series, 116-113.
Despite shooting the basketball poorly from deep in the opening 12 minutes (just 1-of-12 from the 3-point line), Milwaukee was able to claim a three point advantage after one, 28-25. They had fantastic ball movement, creating nine assists in the quarter.
The opening of the second quarter featured the first head-scratcher of this series. Right after the Bucks went on their first hot run of the game, Jeff Teague was inserted into the lineup and assigned to Jeff Teague.
