After three quarters, the Hawks lead, 101-94.
Giannis Antetokounmpo put up 19pts/7reb/2ast in 21 minutes in the first three quarters. Have to assume he’s done for the day. – 1:58 PM

It’s too early in the season but the Trae Young – Dejounte Murray duo is very good and fun to watch. #TrueToAtlanta #NBAinAbuDhabi – 1:48 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Jrue Holiday has really been trying to work the pick-and-roll with Brook Lopez in the last few minutes and they’re just not connecting.
Hawks up, 95-83, with 3:48 left in the third quarter. – 1:46 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
There was a timeout in the middle of it, but De’Andre Hunter just drove to the rim on three straight possessions: one missed shot, then two fouls drawn. – 1:46 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo picks up his third foul on a charge taken by Clint Capela.
Capela has clearly made that a priority tonight. – 1:30 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
No Bogi, no Jalen.
Hawks went 9 deep in first half with:
Both Holidays, Okongwu, Kaminsky in addition to the usual starting five. – 1:26 PM

Trae Young just did some push-ups after Jrue Holiday hit him with “The Jrue” and got whistled for a foul. theathletic.com/3203712/2022/0… – 1:12 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Really interesting set from the Hawks with about 3:00 left in 2Q. Trae on ball on right side, DJM pulls out of left corner around Capela screen, immediately reverses for a fake back cut.
Then Trae and Clint run a Spain pick-and-roll with DJM screening the screener. – 1:10 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm

This is an interesting lineup. Young, Murray, Hunter, KAMINSKY and Capela.
Hawks may be trying to stretch the floor a little bit more with Kaminsky on floor. – 12:57 PM

MarJon Beauchamp getting his first run here in the second quarter.
And fellow Seattle hooper Dejounte Murray quickly welcomes him to the game with a quick crossover and take to the rim. – 12:48 PM

With no Jalen Johnson, we’re getting some Kaminsky/Okongwu minutes with OO in the actions in the paint on offense and Kaminsky guarding Ibaka on defense. – 12:37 PM

Hunter gets a 2nd foul. Collins exits, first sub is Justin Holiday with Hunter sliding over to PF. – 12:25 PM

Bucks up, 11-10, four minutes into this one.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is 0-for-3 from the field thus far, but he got to the line and hit both free throws. – 12:17 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bobby Portis has been pushing the ball up the floor himself a lot off of rebounds this preseason. Curious to see if that sticks in the regular season. – 12:13 PM

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Bobby wasting no time. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/Z1sHMB0u32 – 12:13 PM

First Hawks bucket of the preseason is a Hunter three from the corner. – 12:11 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer will be on the bench today, but did say it may be a bit of a hybrid effort from him and associate head coach Charles Lee.
Budenholzer joked that he’ll probably be sitting quite a bit more than normal. – 10:38 AM

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The NBA was fairly certain Giannis Antetokounmpo was going to play at least one of the games in Abu Dhabi, going back to when this trip was announced.
There is a reason the #Bucks are there, after all.
Barring any warmup issues, this afternoon is the day for him to play. – 10:36 AM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
“We’ve tried to build chemistry by keeping those guys together.”
–Nate McMillan, via Zoom, on the starting five of Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, De’Andre Hunter, John Collins and Clint Capela – 10:35 AM

Wesley Matthews remains OUT for the Bucks today with a tweaked ankle that he suffered last Friday.
Joe Ingles and Khris Middleton are both obviously OUT as well. (Not sure I need to say that anymore.) – 10:35 AM

Adam Silver, in Abu Dhabi for the Hawks-Bucks preseason game, is asked about Victor Wembanyama: “I know that many of our NBA teams are salivating at the notion that potentially, through our Lottery, that they could get him– so they should all still compete very hard next season.” – 10:32 AM

Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
Wes Matthews still unavailable due to an ankle injury.
