NBA: Schröders Hawks without a chance against Giannis

The Atlanta Hawks lost to the Milwaukee Bucks despite an attractive performance by Dennis Schröder. Giannis Antetokounmpo was too big.

Normally, it is to be seen with such early games that teams act somewhat lethargic and rusty. Giannis Antetokounmpo knew this too, but wanted to counteract it:”I wanted to set a good example so that this would not happen. In the past, we were in a way known for something like that,”said the Greek.

The good example read like this: 33 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assist. He was not really to get a grip on by the Hawks, especially his drive was once again irresistible. So the game took the expected run: The Bucks took the lead early and the Hawks never took a single lead. However, they were not to be disregarded because they never lost their morale and showed solid basketball until the end. You were simply inferior to your opponent.

The solid performance of Dennis Schröder, who was 35 minutes on the field and played 21 points at 8 Assist (3 TO), could not change that. Taurean Prince hung up 17 points, the best man in the Bucks (behind Giannis of course) was Khris Middleton with 27 points. Rashad Vaughn attracted attention with four threesomes.
