JAKARTA - Milwaukee Bucks beat the Atlanta Hawks with a final score of 122-113 in a match at the State Farm Arena Atlanta Georgia, Sunday WIB, with the star Giannis Antetokounmpo back as a point engine.

Giannis scored 36 points, 16 rebounds, and eight assists to bring in a win to rule out the opponent's performance, Bogdan Bogdanovic, who recorded 38 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawks.

Khris Middleton scored 21 points as the Bucks stopped two consecutive defeats and played without the 2024 Tripoin Contestist Damian Lillard who missed for personal reasons.

Patrick Beverley, whose status is uncertain due to an injury to his right wrist, played 36 minutes and scored 18 points as a point guard to replace Lillard in the starter.

Beverley said that Bucks coach Doc Rivers initially had a bit of a doubt to give him the opportunity to play full time as a starter. "He wants to protect me, as a coach should be," Beverley was quoted as saying on the NBA's official website.

Rivers said they were happy with Beverley's ball movement. He recorded five assists and five rebounds.

"As I said, we underestimated his condition. I think he plays the cleanest game he can play," said Doc Rivers regarding Baeverly's performance playing cautiously and generating a game without a mistake or turnover.

From the Hawks, Dejounte Murray, who previously scored 44 points during the match against the Boston Celtics on Friday (29/3), accounted for 20 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds.

The Hawks entered 14 three-point throws, including five throws from Bogdanovic.

Bogdanovic set a record high in his career with 10 rebounds. He scored 17 points in the fourth quarter while putting in two three-pointers at the last minute.

The Hawks again lost injured Onyek Okongwu strikers (left-footedkeseleo) and Jalen Johnson (right-footed wrist), making it difficult for Antetokounmpo to control the game.

"It really takes a lot of players to limit their ability to reach the basket," said Hawks coach Quin Snyder regarding Antetokounmpo's performance.
