It's match two of the NBA Eastern Conference final and Atlanta Hawks will be out to extend their 1-0 lead over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Hawks won the southeast division with a 41-31 record but lost more games on the road than they won. However, their away form was improved in the first match of this best-of-seven series with a 116-113 win in Milwaukee. They had Trae Young to thank for that win as he scored 49 points in the match. Milwaukee led for the first half of the match but Atlanta fought back to turn over their five point deficit and win by three points. The last thing the Bucks will want is to go into the third and fourth games (both played in Atlanta) with a 2-0 deficit. The Bucks will be out to prevent Young from scoring anywhere near as many points as he did in the first match. They had won won 31 out of 41 home games before the loss in the first match of this final. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points in the opening match, a repeat of that or even better will help the Bucks level the final.
