Another Game 1 and another disappointing performance for the Milwaukee Bucks. They were unable to get the job done in Game 1 of the ECF, as the Atlanta Hawks came into Fiserv Forum and stole home-court advantage, 116-113.
Milwaukee would start things off with some of the crispest ball movement we’ve seen from them all postseason. Cross-court passes, an inside/outside game, you name it. It was the largest reason as to why they were able to obtain a 28-25 lead after one quarter of play. The interesting factoid? They did so while shooting just 2-of-11 from deep.
The Bucks would play well enough to flirt with a double-digit lead in the beginning stages of the second quarter.
