Report card
Offense: C
The Hawks shot 41.5 percent from the field for the game, despite the poor 3-point shooting. They did have 16 turnovers with only two coming in the overtime periods. They had only 39 points in the second and third quarters combined. Schroder and Millsap were solid.
Defense: D
The Hawks allowed the Bucks the first eight points of the second overtime. They fell behind by nine points in the first half and 10 points in the second half. They were able to erase each deficit but never could get away. The Bucks’ poor free-throw shooting in regulation kept the Hawks the game. The rebounding (65-49), points in the paint (58-50) and second-chance points (27-10) disadvantages were issues.
