East top seed Hawks overwhelm Bucks
Kyle Korver scores 11 points in 65 seconds while Demarre Carroll finishes with a game-high 23 points to lead Atlanta over Milwaukee

ATLANTA, USA – DeMarre Carroll scored a game-high 23 points and the Atlanta Hawks, already assured of the best record in the NBA Eastern Conference, ripped the Milwaukee Bucks 101-88 on Monday, March 30 (Tuesday in Manila).

Al Horford scored 18 points while Paul Millsap contributed 15 points and 9 rebounds and Carroll added 8 rebounds as the Hawks improved to 56-18, 4 1/2 games behind Golden State for the top record in the league.

Atlanta’s Kyle Korver scored all 11 of his points in a 65-second span of the third quarter, boosting the Hawks’ lead from 5 to 16 on the way to their third victory in 4 games.

The Bucks dropped their 11th consecutive road game despite Zaza Pachulia’s 17 points and game-high 13 rebounds against his former club.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 18 points, but the Bucks still lost for the eighth time in their past 10 starts overall.

The Hawks own a homecourt edge throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs and are the only club that could deny the overall playoff home court edge from going to Golden State (60-13).

At 36-38, the Bucks remained sixth in the Eastern Conference, 3 games ahead of Boston in the eighth and final East playoff position. – Rappler.com
