The Bucks blew the doors off in game two, which should give them some much needed confidence moving forward. However, it’s important to remember the Hawks did what they needed to do by stealing home court, and they’ve done a good job of bouncing back from losses all playoffs. In fact, the Hawks have lost back-to-back games just once since May 1. As good as the Bucks are on paper, they’ve struggled to string together good offensive performances. Give me the Hawks and the free points.
