ATLANTA — \u2014 Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> had 21 points and 17 rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> snapped a three-game losing streak, holding off the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> 112-110 on Monday after squandering a 23-point lead in the second half.<\/p>\n

The Hawks led 105-104 on Jalen Johnson<\/a>‘s 3-pointer with 1:11 remaining before dropping their fourth in a row in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day game played in the hometown of the civil rights icon.<\/p>\n

AJ Green<\/a> and Bobby Portis<\/a> hit back-to-back 3s, Johnson turned the ball over and Antetokounmpo<\/a> powered inside for a basket that made it 109-105 with 36 seconds to go.<\/p>\n

The Hawks still had a chance after Nickeil Alexander-Walker<\/a> connected from outside the stripe and Ryan Rollins<\/a> missed a free throw for the Bucks. But CJ McCollum<\/a> bobbled the ball and wound up flinging an off-balance shot that clanked off the rim to seal it for Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Atlanta nearly won after missing its first 21 shots from 3-point range. The Hawks trailed 54-38 at halftime and 74-51 approaching the midway point of the third period before finally coming to life.<\/p>\n

Alexander-Walker led the Hawks with 32 points, while Johnson had 28 points and 16 rebounds. The Bucks were more balanced, with six players in double figures.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee made a lineup change, dropping Kevin Porter Jr<\/a>. from the starting five. After starting all 22 games he had played this season, Porter was replaced by Kyle Kuzma<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Porter was benched after a rough January that included an 0-for-9 shooting performance in Milwaukee’s previous game, a blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>. He played 28 minutes against the Hawks with nine points, seven assists and six rebounds.<\/p>\n

The Hawks continued to struggle at home, dropping to 7-13 at State Farm Arena. They are 13-12 on the road.<\/p>\n

As part of the holiday commemoration, Martin Luther King III and his wife, Arndrea Waters King, were recognized during a timeout early in the third quarter. <\/p>\n
