Preview: Hawks look for 2-0 series lead vs. Bucks
Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports The Atlanta Hawks took down the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals with a 116-113 win on Wednesday. Friday, the Hawks will look to take a 2-0 series lead with another road win.
Atlanta is now 6-2 on the road this postseason, and have won their last three games as guests after the Game 1 win. Trae Young was again spectacular, posting 48 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds, out dueling two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks struggled figuring out exactly they wanted to defend Young, giving up floaters in the first half but switching more later in the game.
