The Milwaukee Bucks have played a couple Western Conference teams in a row, but now they’ll get a shot to tangle with an Eastern Conference foe when the Atlanta Hawks come to town on Friday.
Usually a strong team every year, the Hawks have been in free fall for the last few weeks. An injury to Paul Millsap didn’t help matters, and the team lost seven straight games. Atlanta won their last one against the Miami Heat, but not convincingly.
The Hawks defense has been strong, but Atlanta currently has one of the worst offenses in the NBA, according to both offensive rating and points per game.
