Giannis Antetokounmpo had 21 points and 17 rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a three-game losing streak, holding off the Atlanta Hawks 112-110 after squandering a 23-point lead in the second half. The Hawks led 105-104 on Jalen Johnson’s 3-pointer before dropping their fourth in a row in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day game. Bobby Portis hit a 3, Johnson turned the ball over and Antetokounmpo powered inside for a basket that made it 109-105 with 36 seconds to go. The Hawks still had a chance, but CJ McCollum missed a chance to tie before the buzzer. Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the Hawks with 32 points.
