Damian Lillard has a rough night with 6 points as the Hawks defeat the Bucks, 127-110.

Trae Young's 20 points led eight Atlanta scorers in double figures as the Hawks dominated the host Milwaukee Bucks 127-110 on Sunday.

Atlanta jumped out to a 15-point lead less than nine minutes into the game. Milwaukee cut the deficit to one early in the second quarter, but runs of 18-4 and 13-3 put the Hawks firmly in control.

The visitors shot 47-of-93 from the field, including 15-of-37 from beyond the arc, led by Bogdan Bogdanovic's 4-of-7 performance. With 17 points, Bogdanovic led three Hawks reserves in double figures.

Saddiq Bey scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while Onyeka Okongwu added 14 points and seven rebounds.

Clint Capela had 12 points and 12 rebounds, as all five Atlanta starters scored at least 12 points. Jalen Johnson had 14 points and seven rebounds, while Dejounte Murray and De'Andre Hunter each scored 15 points.

Young had a game-high 11 assists, while Bogdanovic had six and Murray had five. Atlanta had 32 assists as a team, while Milwaukee had 22.

The Hawks successfully outpaced the Bucks with 25 fast-break points to seven, capitalizing in part on Milwaukee's 23 turnovers.

Damian Lillard had his worst offensive performance since November 5, 2021, when he shot 2-of-13 for four points. Lillard went 2-of-12 for six points on Sunday and was scoreless until the second half.
