After Action Report
In Milwaukee, the Hawks pulled away from the Bucks 111-92. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
