The Atlanta Hawks notched their first victory of the 2023-24 season with a commanding 127-110 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Sunday night.
Trae Young led the Hawks with 20 points and 11 assists with Bogdan Bogdanovic adding 17 points. For the Bucks — without Kris Middleton — Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 26 points. Malik Beasley added 18 points.
After starting 0-2 on the season, the prospect of coming into Fiserv Forum to buck the trend wasn’t going to be straightforward. Hawks head coach Quin Snyder made a change to the starting lineup, inserting Jalen Johnson in place of Saddiq Bey, and it was an inspired change with Johnson contributing heavily to a first half in which the Hawks dominated with 14 points.
