Hawks aim to wrap up East's No. 3 seed in Milwaukee
Basketball Betting Lines
04/12/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A win tonight would lock up the East's No. 3 seed for the
Atlanta Hawks, who will pay a visit to the playoff-bound Milwaukee Bucks
tonight at the Bradley Center.
Atlanta is a game ahead of Boston for the third spot in the conference
standings and swept the season series from the Celtics, 4-0. It has won two
straight and three of five games, and ended a six-game road losing streak with
Saturday's 105-95 victory at Washington behind Jamal Crawford's team-high 28
points off the bench.
"There's always a moment of truth in a game, where one team's going to step up
and take control of the game," Crawford said. "So if we can do that a little
bit earlier and not put ourselves in tight situations toward the end, I think
that would help us."
Joe Johnson added 20 points and Josh Smith added 10 and eight assists for the
Hawks, who will close out the regular season on Wednesday versus Cleveland.
The Hawks are 33-7 at home, as opposed to their 18-22 road mark.
Milwaukee is currently tied with Miami for the fifth spot in the East and had
its four-game winning streak come to an end with Saturday's 105-90 loss versus
the Boston Celtics at home.
John Salmons scored 21 points and rookie Brandon Jennings had 19 to pace the
Bucks, who got 12 points out of Jerry Stackhouse in a reserve role.
"With about four minutes to go in the second quarter they started getting
really physical with us -- setting screens, getting to the basket and
rebounding positions -- and we didn't respond really well to that," Bucks head
coach Scott Skiles said. "They took a little momentum there."
Skiles was ejected after getting two technical fouls for arguing with the
refs. Milwaukee will conclude the regular season on Wednesday in Boston.
The 2009-10 season series between Atlanta and Milwaukee is tied at a game
apiece, with each team holding serve as the host. The Hawks have lost 18 of
their last 21 trips to the Bradley Center.
