Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Loss To Atlanta Hawks
Despite playing a shorthanded Atlanta Hawks team, the Milwaukee Bucks lost a close one Wednesday night, losing 107-100. With that, what stood out the most for the Bucks in the loss?
Although they had an edge in a few key ways, the Milwaukee Bucks put in an erratic effort Wednesday night that resulted in a 107-100 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
The teams entered the game under opposing circumstances. The Bucks had a three day layoff, coming off their grind it out victory over the Memphis Grizzlies last Saturday night while the Hawks were fresh off a nail biting victory over the Miami Heat, in which they finished without Dwight Howard.
With Howard later being declared out for the game, along with Thabo Sefolosha, this had the makings for the Bucks to snatch a victory over a top level team in the East while they were shorthanded.

However, that was far from the case as the Bucks ended up looking more out of rhythm more than the Hawks. There was no greater example of that than how the Bucks fared in the second quarter as they were outscored 31-9 by the Hawks in those 12 minutes.
With that said, the Bucks rebounded and made a valiant comeback to make the game not only respectable, but even briefly put the outcome in doubt for the Hawks. Ultimately, though, the Hawks prevailed, leaving the Bucks with their fifth loss of the young season.
So with that, let’s take a look at what stood out the most in the Bucks’ loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
