The Milwaukee Bucks let a big lead slip away, losing 115-110 to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.
What Went Down:
Trae Young led Atlanta with 24 points and seven assists.
The Hawks snapped a five-game home losing streak, rallying from 21 points down.
Kyle Kuzma made his Bucks debut, scoring 12 points (all in the first half) and grabbing seven rebounds.
Giannis Antetokounmpo missed his third straight game with a calf issue.
Bobby Portis stepped up with 26 points and 15 rebounds, while Damian Lillard nearly had a triple-double (23 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds).
The Bucks hit 11 of 15 threes in the second quarter, tying a franchise record.
Big Picture:
Milwaukee has now dropped five of its last six games.
Kuzma got the start at the last minute but will likely be in the starting lineup moving forward, according to coach Doc Rivers.
Atlanta, still adjusting to recent trades, is expecting reinforcements soon.
What’s Next:
The Bucks return home to face the 76ers on Sunday.
The Hawks kick off a road trip in Washington on Saturday.
Tough loss for Milwaukee, but with Giannis still out and Kuzma just getting settled in, there’s room for improvement.
