Atlanta Hawks: 4 Observations from 115-107 Loss to Bucks
The Bucks have what it takes to reach the Finals
For the first time in a while, the Eastern Conference playoffs will be truly wide-open. The East has been LeBron’s baby for 8 straight years, with James-led squads reaching the Finals in each of those seasons.
Now, however, the King’s move to the Lakers has opened the door for some unconventional championship candidates. The Bucks, Raptors, and 76ers are all favorites to be playing in the last games of the year, but Milwaukee is the squad in first place who should rightfully be considered top dog among them.
Bucks took the Hawks best (depleted) punch and countered with 3 straight threes. They are the best team in the NBA after all

They pass, shoot, and defend at a high level, and they have a superstar in Giannis who can carry them in crunch time. This Hawks game was a perfect example of the Bucks ending up on the wrong side of so many key statistics and still coming out with a win–their 60th of the season.
