Bucks Rally To Claim Road Win
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the host Atlanta Hawks, 113-102, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals at State Farm Arena on Sunday evening.

The Bucks used a dominant fourth quarter to rally for the road win and reclaim home-court advantage in the series, after they dropped Game 1, at home. The Hawks were the stronger team to start Game 3, with a, 32-27, lead after one quarter, but the Bucks picked it up in the second and tied it up at 56, by halftime. The score stayed tight through the third, and the Hawks took a two-point edge into the final frame. Unfortunately for the Hawks, Trae Young tweaked his ankle late in the third and although he returned to the game, he did not have the same energy to lead the way. Instead, Khris Middleton took over for the Bucks in the fourth quarter, where he outscored the entire Hawks team, with 20 points of his own. The Bucks outscored the hosts, 30-17, in the final frame to close out the key road win and take a, 2-1, series lead.

Middleton led the Bucks with 38 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, in 42 minutes. Giannis Antetokounmpo followed up with 33 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block, while Bobby Portis added 15 points, four rebounds and two steals. The Bucks shot 51 percent from the field, including 11-of-29 from deep.

Meanwhile, Trae Young led the Hawks with 35 points, four assists and a steal, in 39 minutes. Danilo Gallinari followed up with 18 points, four rebounds and two steals, while John Collins tallied 13 points and eight rebounds. The Hawks shot 46 percent from the field, including 15-of-37 from long range.
