Atlanta Hawks finish strongly to beat Milwaukee Bucks

The Atlanta Hawks dominated the second half to come from behind and secure a 102-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Ersan Ilyasova and Brandon Knight got the visitors off to a good start, finishing the game with a combined points total of 42, helping the Bucks to a seven-point lead by the end of the first quarter.

Jeff Teague kept the Hawks in contention at the break, before he and Kyle Korver added a flurry of late points to put Atlanta in front with just over two minutes left to play.

Milwaukee's early shooting prowess dried up after the restart, as they made just four of their 21 shots in the third quarter.

The result helps the Hawks extend their hold on the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, while the Bucks still have the worst record in the league.
