Even thought it wasn’t a game-winning buzzer-beater, Dennis Schroder’s shot as the clock ran out on the first half did give the Hawks the lead over the Milwaukee Bucks.

With no time left at the end of the second half, Schroder drove into the paint and made a 2-point shot to give the Hawks a 43-41 lead at halftime.

Schroder, who also hit a last second shot to end the third quarter, finished Tuesday with 18 points, three rebounds, four assists and one steal.

The Hawks went on to lose to the Bucks, 97-92.
