The Atlanta Hawks have achieved a remarkable comeback, overcoming a 21-point deficit to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 115-110 on Friday night. Key contributions came from Trae Young, Mouhamed Gueye, and Australian Dyson Daniels.
Young led the Hawks with 24 points and seven assists, while Daniels added 15 points and 10 assists. Gueye had an outstanding performance with 15 points, 11 rebounds, and four blocks, all of which were season highs for him.
This victory ended Atlanta's five-game home losing streak and marked only their second win in the last 11 games overall. For the Bucks, Bobby Portis scored 26 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, while Damian Lillard contributed with 23 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds. The Bucks have now lost five of their last six games, as they continue to miss All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo due to calf tightness.
In other matches, Cam Johnson and D'Angelo Russell led the Brooklyn Nets to a 102-86 victory over the Miami Heat, limiting Miami to just nine points in the fourth quarter. Australian Ben Simmons was not with the Nets as they work on a contract buyout.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers secured a 134-124 win over the Washington Wizards, with Donovan Mitchell scoring 33 points and Evan Mobley adding 27 points. The Wizards are still struggling despite Jordan Poole's career-high 45 points.
