Atlanta Hawks are back on a positive track (over 50% win rate) after defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 119:104, and Bogdan Bogdanović played a significant role once again.
The Serbian captain struggled to find his rhythm after an injury (he probably played in the G League on his own initiative), but now he looks like the player who could turn the game around coming off the bench.
He scored 15 points with two rebounds and five assists, hitting five of eight shots, including three of five from three-point range. He played 25 minutes and Atlanta had a +19 point differential with him on the court.

He has made at least one three-pointer in 99 consecutive games, entering NBA history with the fifth longest streak. He is currently tied with Jordan Clarkson.
Finally, Bogdanović has woken up as he was shooting only 31% from three-point range before this game, which is by far his worst percentage in his NBA career. That’s why, after a terrible shooting performance in the previous round, he decided to stay on the court and shoot when everyone else had already left the arena.
Check out one of his five assists, Clint Capela read Bogdanovic’s mind and dunked the ball with force.

Bogdanovic also provided defensive intensity, recording five steals.
De’Andre Hunter scored 20 points, while Trae Young had 17 points and seven assists (uncharacteristically low for the league’s leading assist man).
Giannis Antetokounmpo was the most efficient player for the Bucks with 30 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Damian Lillard with 25 points.
The Hawks at one point had a 20-point lead and were ahead in fast break points (30:12), and when you add 64:34 points in the paint, it becomes clear why the Bucks couldn’t respond.
