Bucks Roll Hawks, 133-114
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the host Atlanta Hawks, 133-114, at State Farm Arena on Sunday.

When you have the best offense in the league play the worst defense, a 133-point outing like this becomes something you expect. Not only did Milwaukee score at least 29 points in each quarter, but they also won all four individual quarters en route to their easy victory. The Bucks offense was unstoppable all day, as they connected on 53 percent of their shots while recording 28 assists. Rebounding was dominated by Atlanta, as they won that battle, 54-39. The assist-to-turnover differential allowed Milwaukee's offense to thrive, as they recorded 28 assists to 14 turnovers while forcing Atlanta to commit 24 turnovers to 19 assists. The 13 steals recorded by Milwaukee played a huge factor in that, as Atlanta had just three on their end.

The Bucks (30-12) were led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, as he collected 33 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals. Eric Bledsoe finished with 24 points, two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals on 9-of-13 shooting. Khris Middleton totaled 17 points, 11 rebounds and four assists while Malcolm Brogdon accrued 14 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals.

The Hawks (13-30) were led by Trae Young, as he tallied 26 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. DeAndre' Bembry amassed 18 points and seven boards. John Collins finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds and four assists while Alex Len led the bench with 12 points and eight rebounds.

Both teams return to action on Tuesday, with Milwaukee playing host to the surging Miami Heat and Atlanta welcoming the Oklahoma City Thunder to State Farm Arena.
