In the Hawks’ only visit to Fiserv Forum this season, the Bucks were able to defeat their Eastern Conference Finals opponent 124-115 behind 43 points from Giannis Antetokounmpo.
After his fantastic outing vs. the Thunder, Giannis Antetokounmpo wasted no time getting this one started. He’d erupt for 17 points in the opening frame, four of which came from a pair of nasty dunks. It helped Milwaukee cook up a double-digit advantage after one, 37-26.
Milwaukee’s lead would not be in any danger throughout the second quarter. Instead, they’d only create more separation. Following Antetokounmpo’s strong first quarter, the torch was passed to Bobby Portis, who finished the half with 19 points.
