After a dominant Game 4 victory at State Farm Arena to set up a pivotal Game 5 in Milwaukee, the Atlanta Hawks were unable to take a 3-2 lead in the series as the Bucks took Game 5 on their home floor, 123-112 on Thursday night.

The Hawks were, once again, without Trae Young as they were in Game 4 and were led by Bogdan Bogdanovic’s 28 points. John Collins and Danilo Gallinari both added 19 points.

For the Bucks, they were without Giannis Antetokounmpo but received the contributions that were missing in Game 4, including a playoff career-high 33 points from Brook Lopez.
