Could there be much more critical a setup heading into tonight’s game? A stretch of wonderful play ready to be continued by Milwaukee, a chance at the fifth seed in the East within reach, and a triumphant return from their recent West Coast road trip to Wisconsin were all in store. All that stood in the way of the continuing Cinderella story were the visiting Atlanta Hawks.
Surely this test would be easier than six straight games on the road, right? Right?!?!
Things started out just about dead-even throughout most of the first quarter with both sides doing their best to score a whole bunch and not play a whole lot of defense.
