For the Bucks, it wasn’t who will step up, but how many will rise to the occasion. Led by 33 points from Brook Lopez, four players finished with at least 22 points for Milwaukee as they won a Giannis-less Game 5, 123-112 and now lead the series, 3-2. Khris Middleton finished the night with another double-double, his seventh of the postseason, 26 points and 13 rebounds.
Lopez helped the Bucks start strong with two big blocks in the first two minutes of the opening quarter before he went on to score 12 of his 33 points. Milwaukee would close out the quarter with a 14-point lead. As a team, the Bucks rode their big man and overall interior play to outscore the Hawks in the paint, 66-36.
Atlanta held out hope for Trae Young’s return until the last minute. The Hawks’ leading scorer was a gametime decision prior to Game 5, but couldn’t go. They will try the same approach Saturday night. While Lopez was leading the charge in Giannis’ absence Thursday, Bogdan Bogdanovic was trying to keep the Hawks in the game. The 28-year-old Serbian shooting guard dropped a playoff career-high 28 points while shooting 7-for-16 from three.
The Hawks host the Bucks in Game 6 as 2.5-point favorites. The over/under is 217.

And don't worry that Sling doesn't have ABC (which you can get with one of the best TV antennas). ESPN3 is simulcasting ABC NBA playoff games, so you'll be good with Sling.
