MILWAUKEE (AP) — Zaccharie Risacher scored a season-high 36 points, Dyson Daniels added 22 points and five steals while becoming Atlanta’s single-season leader, and the Hawks beat the slumping Milwaukee Bucks 145-124 on Sunday night.
Trae Young had 19 points and 19 assists, and Georges Niang finished with 17 points for the Hawks, who snapped a two-game skid.
Atlanta turned around the game after Milwaukee’s blistering start and gained control in the third quarter, outscoring the Bucks 36-17 for a 118-92 lead entering the final period.
Milwaukee closed within 133-121 on two free throws by Kevin Porter Jr. with 4:40 remaining. Risacher hit three free throws to put the Hawks up 142-123 with just over 2 1/2 minutes left.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points, Porter scored 28 and Kyle Kuzma had 25 for the Bucks, who have lost four straight.
Milwaukee made 17 of 20 shots (85%) in the opening quarter, including 5 of 7 beyond the arc. Kuzma was 6 for 6, making both 3-pointers, for 14 points.
The Hawks then went ahead 82-75 at the break, their highest-scoring first half of the season. The Bucks shot 69% and Atlanta 57.1%, but the Hawks turned eight turnovers into 16 points.
