In the second night of a back-to-back, the Milwaukee Bucks were unable to get the job done at home against the Atlanta Hawks, falling 119-104.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s scoring helped the Bucks immediately capture a spacious lead to kick things off. However, a run pieced together by the Hawks’ second-unit erased it all. Heading into the second quarter, they had flipped the script and carried a 38-35 lead.
The momentum that Atlanta earned to close out the first quarter continued into the second period. About midway through, they cracked open a double-digit advantage.
