“#Bucks top Hawks, Trae Young hurts ankle by stepping on ref<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Khris Middleton showed once again that the Milwaukee Bucks have more than one player capable of taking over a game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He did it Sunday night at the best possible time.<\/p>\n

Middleton scored 20 of his playoff career high-tying 38 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Bucks to a 113-102 victory over the Atlanta Hawks for a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he did today was unreal,\u201d Giannis Antetokounmpo said. \u201cHe was unbelievable. Carried the team at the end. \u2026 What I saw today was greatness. Simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trae Young scored 35 points for Atlanta but was slowed in the final period. He stepped on an official\u2019s foot late in the third and injured his right ankle. He will have an MRI on the ankle on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hurting. It\u2019s frustrating,\u201d Young said, adding the injury impacted \u201cmy blow-by speed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game 4 is Tuesday night in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Middleton scored 10 points in the decisive run in the fourth that gave Milwaukee the lead. He had 11 rebounds and seven assists.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just finally got them to go,\u201d Middleton said. \u201cI\u2019ve been struggling some with the ball going in the basket. Finally they started dropping for me at the right time. I\u2019m thankful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo, who often has the spotlight for Milwaukee, had 33 points. The Bucks trailed most of the game before surging in the fourth quarter. Atlanta led 95-88 before Middleton made his first of three 3-pointers during the 15-3 run for a 103-98 lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust being around him a lot, he starts to see it go in, he starts to feel good, he gets in a rhythm in a lot of ways,\u201d said Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer before adding \u201cI\u2019m just glad he\u2019s on our side.\u201d<\/p>\n

After never leading in a 125-91 Game 2 loss, the Hawks were eager for a better start in their first home game of the series<\/a>. Turnovers by Middleton and Antetokounmpo led to dunks by Clint Capela, and Kevin Huerter added a 3-pointer for a 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The Hawks stretched the advantage to 13 points. Antetokounmpo was held to five first-quarter points but regained his scoring form in the second period. He had 11 points in the period as the Bucks finally pulled even at 56-all on a 3-pointer by Pat Connaughton with 12 seconds remaining in the half.<\/p>\n

The Bucks took their first lead at 82-80 on a basket by Bobby Portis Jr. with 1:47 remaining in the third. A 3-pointer by Danilo Gallinari, who had 18 points, gave Atlanta an 85-83 lead at the end of the period.<\/p>\n

Middleton opened the final period by sinking a 3 that signaled the start of his big period. He went on to outscore the Hawks, who had 17 points, by himself in the period.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was really going from everywhere,\u201d Hawks coach Nate McMillan said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
