One hour before the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks tipped off, reporters got tipped off that this game would immediately become more entertaining. The end result of a 123-113 loss may not have delivered the good preseason vibes for all fans, but watching Giannis Antetokounmpo play was enough warm and fuzzies to carry us till Saturday for a rematch between these two.

Not only did we get our first glimpse of Giannis, but it felt pretty special for this crowd as they cheered after every single free throw that went down for him.
