In a stunning turnaround, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 21 points and grabbed 17 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks snapped their three-game losing streak with a hard-fought 112-110 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Hawks, who missed their first 21 three-point attempts, nearly pulled off a stunning comeback from a 23-point deficit in the second half. The Bucks, who trailed 105-104 with 1:11 remaining, were saved by Giannis's crucial basket and clutch three-pointers from AJ Green and Bobby Portis. The Hawks had one final chance, but CJ McCollum's off-balance shot clanked off the rim, securing the win for Milwaukee. The Hawks, who are now 7-13 at State Farm Arena, were led by Nickeil Alexander-Walker's 32 points and Jalen Johnson's 28 points and 16 rebounds. The Bucks, meanwhile, had six players score in double figures and made a key lineup change by dropping Kevin Porter Jr. from the starting five. The Bucks will look to build on this momentum when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, while the Hawks travel to Memphis to face the Grizzlies. This victory marks a much-needed boost for the Bucks, who had been struggling to find their footing in recent games.
