The Milwaukee Bucks went up against the Atlanta Hawks in Milwaukee on Monday. It was the Hawks that came out on top at the Fiserv Forum on Monday night, as they defeated the Bucks by a 121-105 margin. It was a comfortable and comprehensive win for the in-form Hawks against the Bucks as they won all four quarters and were crowned deserved winners on the road.
The Hawks led by De’Andre Hunter and Trae Young came out on top right from the first quarter, and began the game on the front foot. After a strong first quarter performance that ended 29+24, they turned on the afterburners in the second quarter to extend their lead further. Going into the locker rooms at half time at 63-60, the Hawks held on in the second half despite a strong fight from the Bucks.
The Bucks put on a spirited fight in the second half at home, but in the end, it was not enough to earn them a win. Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s best efforts, the Bucks succumbed to their third loss of the season to have their streak reading 10-3 – but the Greek-Nigerian superstar was positive about his team as he posted an encouraging message on social media following the loss.
The Bucks superstar posted a picture of himself on his social media following the defeat.
Posting on his official Twitter handle following the defeat to the Hawks, Giannis posted a picture of himself from the game – captioned with “Back to building good habits.” The caption might be a call to his teammates as the Bucks have now suffered back to back losses, and the talisman is urging his team to get back to winning ways and the kind of form they started the season in.
Regardless of the Bucks’ slight downturn in form, Giannis continues to perform at a high level – the Greek Freak put up 27 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in a losing cause on Monday.
