They say all good things must come to an end. Friday night the the seven game winning streak the Atlanta Hawks had been on came to an end. An Isaiah Thomas pull-up jumper with 2.4 seconds remaining was the knockout blow. The Boston Celtics narrowly escaped with a victory, 103-101.
There’s no time for Atlanta to lick their wounds. After a day of rest, they welcome a tough opponent to Phillips Arena. The Milwaukee Bucks are in town for a Sunday matinee, and beating them is no easy task.
The Bucks have had an up and down season, but they’re an exciting young team that should eventually become a serious contender in the Eastern Conference.
