Bucks overcome

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Even without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo (YAH’-nihs an-teh-toh-KOON’-poh), the Milwaukee Bucks figured out a way to end their recent habit of slow starts. Brook Lopez scored a playoff career-high 33 points to lead a balanced attack and the Bucks never trailed in a 123-112 victory over the Atlanta Hawks last night. The win gives them a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
