Hawks struggle in first quarter, show encouraging fight in road loss to Bucks

The Atlanta Hawks faced an uphill battle from minute one of their Sunday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks as both Trae Young (back spasm) and Clint Capela (right hand soreness) ruled out prior to tip-off at Fiserv Forum, while the likes of Danilo Gallinari, Onyeka Okongwu and Cam Reddish were on minutes restrictions, though Lloyd Pierce did not disclose the exact details of these restrictions pre-game.

Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kris Dunn remained out.

In the end, the Hawks were unable to overcome their absence, falling to the Bucks 129-115.

The Hawks were led by a career-high effort from De’Andre Hunter, who scored 33 points, as well as 30 points from John Collins.
