<p>After making a comeback and taking a lead in the third quarter, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> ran out of gas late and fall to Milwaukee 108-101. Atlanta erased a nine point halftime deficit by outscoring the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewhoop.com/">Bucks</a> 33-23 in the third quarter. However, this time around they couldn't sustain it as <span>Monta Ellis</span> put the Hawks down for good with his best night since being traded to Milwaukee. </p>
<p>For Atlanta, <span>Josh Smith</span> put up more dazzling numbers. 30 points, 18 rebounds, five assists on 14-26 shooting in 39 minutes of action. Once again he was the best player on the floor but needed a little more help this time around. <span>Ivan Johnson</span> scored a career high 17 points off the bench and <span>Jeff Teague</span> finished with 15 points and seven assists but was also saddled with seven turnovers. </p>
<p><span>Joe Johnson</span> and <span>Marvin Williams</span> finish with 11 points each while <span>Kirk Hinrich</span> rounds out Atlanta scorers in double figures with 10. Johnson had a tough go of it after leaving the game to get stitches after taking an inadvertent elbow from <span>Zaza Pachulia</span>. Johnson finished just 4-14 from the field but did have eight assists in the game. Atlanta turned the ball over 21 times and Milwaukee took advantage of the extra opportunities. </p>
<p>Monta Ellis turned in his best night since joining the Bucks finishing with 33 points and eight assists. <span>Brandon Jennings</span> added 16 points and six assists while <span>Drew Gooden</span> added 16 points and five rebounds. <span>Mike Dunleavy</span> chipped in 13 points off the bench for the Bucks. </p>
