HIGHLIGHTS: Bucks vs Hawks, Game 2 – NBA East Conference Finals 2021
As both teams clash once again for Game 2, will the Hawks complete another upset or will the Bucks even the series at 1-1?

The Atlanta Hawks proved that their series win against the top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers was no fluke as they took down the heavily favored Milwaukee Bucks, 116-113, in Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

Hawks superstar Trae Young played arguably the biggest game of his career, finishing with a playoff career-high 48 points, along with 11 assists and 7 rebounds.

Aside from Young’s heroics, big men John Collins and Clint Capela also stepped up big for the Hawks as they both recorded double-doubles against the Bucks’ heavy frontcourt led by superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Collins had 23 points and 15 rebounds, while Capela added 12 points and 19 boards.

However, heading into Game 2, the Hawks should expect a huge fightback from the two-time league MVP Antetokounmpo, who certainly wasn’t pleased with Young’s “shimmy” before hitting one of his three-pointers in the series-opener.

The Hawks should also prepare for a big bounce-back performance from Bucks’ two-time All-Star Khris Middleton, who only finished with 15 points on a dismal 6-of-23 shooting in Game 1.

As both teams clash once again for Game 2, will the Hawks complete another upset or will the Bucks even the series at 1-1?

Game time is 8:30 am on Saturday, June 26, Manila time.
