The Milwaukee Bucks ended their two-game losing streak with a 129-115 win over Atlanta Sunday.
Milwaukee rolled to a 19-point halftime lead as the Hawks played without two starters, including leading scorer Trae Young.
Despite the victory, Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer wasn’t happy with his team’s defense in the second half. Atlanta scored 30 points in both the third and fourth quarters as it tried to whittle away at the Bucks’ lead.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.
Forward Torrey Craig returned to action for the Bucks while wearing a clear facemask. He suffered a broken nose against the New York Knicks on December 27th.
The next action for the Bucks is a Wednesday night game against Toronto in Tampa, Florida.
