Milwaukee Bucks Grades and Reactions From 101-90 Loss to the Atlanta Hawks
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Atlanta Hawks 101-90 at Philips Arena due to poor decisions and lapses in rebounding when it mattered most.
The Milwaukee Bucks were always going to be in for a tough night considering the difficulty of their current stretch of schedule as they visited the Atlanta Hawks. They did an honorable job of generally hanging tight, although to the same token, they never really looked likely to win.
Strong play from Jabari Parker offensively offered a very welcome boost, although with Atlanta’s defense just as good as its top billing in 2016 suggested, he really could have done with a little more help.

Although Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo weren’t bad, the Bucks could certainly have benefited from performances that were closer to resembling what’s become the norm for those two.
On the bright side, John Henson not only continued to look solid and healthy following his return from injury, but he was truly impressive with his play too.
Overall, it was a mixed bag for the Bucks, although ultimately with little to play for, a draft pick boosting loss won’t be the end of the world for any party involved.
