The Atlanta Hawks (56 - 18) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (36 - 38) 101 - 88 on Monday at the Philips Arena. When the Bucks cut the Hawks' lead to five midway through the third quarter, it appeared to be anyone's game. However, after an Atlanta timeout, the Hawks' Kyle Korver made his mark on the game. Korver scored 11 straight points, including three three - pointers, help break the game open. The Hawks are now one game away from tying the single season franchise record for wins. Milwaukee was coming off a 108 - 95 loss to Golden State at home Saturday and fell again Monday. The Bucks, who are just 2 games ahead of the Heat for the sixth seed in the East, have now dropped eight of their last ten. Michael Carter-Williams was able to play after being away from the team to attend the funeral of a family member. Carter-Williams shot just 1 - for - 6 from the floor and finished with four points, five assists, and four turnovers in 21 minutes. Zaza Pachulia had 17 points and 13 rebounds against his former team. The Bucks will look to bounce back Wednesday against the Bulls in what could be a playoff preview. Atlanta deployed all of its usual starters Monday after resting them against Charlotte one night after clinching the number one seed in the East. Dennis Schroder suffered a left toe injury during Monday's contest and coach Mike Budenholzer said in his post game press conference that the second year guard will not travel with the team to Detroit for Tuesday's game. Schroder has been a great contributor off the bench and in spot start situations this season, so the Hawks will be cautious with him as they already have the top seed secured.
