ATLANTA 111 MILWAUKEE 98

Kent Bazemore scored 24 points, Mike Dunleavy scored 20 and the host Atlanta Hawks beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 111-98, on Sunday.

Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokoun­mpo finished with 33 points. He has scored at least 30 points in eight games.

Atlanta has won eight of its last nine games. The Bucks have dropped three of five.

Dunleavy, in his second game since arriving last week in a trade with Cleveland, had his first 20point performanc­e since a firstround playoff game for Chicago on April 30, 2015.

“We cannot let Dunleavy come off the bench and have 20,” Antetokoun­mpo said. “We didn’t defend the three-point line well. That’s basically it.”
