Jrue Holiday scored 27 points and Brook Lopez added 20 points and 12 rebounds to help the visiting Milwaukee Bucks hold off the Atlanta Hawks 114–105 on Wednesday.

Atlanta came back from a 24-point, second-half deficit and took a 103–101 lead on a Bogdan Bogdanovic basket with 3:12 left. But Milwaukee responded with a 10–0 run—including four points from Holiday and a 3-pointer by Lopez—to regain the lead and put it away.
