The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Atlanta Hawks 113-102 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals at State Farm Arena on Sunday, taking the home advantage back and leading 2-1 in the series.

Giannis Antetokounmpo continued to make steady contributions for the Bucks, dropping 33 points, 11 rebounds and four assists in Sunday's game. Eighteen of his 21 field goal attempts happened in the paint, and the Greek Freak made 11 of them. He also earned 13 free throws and watched six of them fall into the net.

Jrue Holiday, who had 55 points and 17 assists in the previous two games, lost his touch on Sunday night as he went only 2-11 from the field to get only six points and 11 assists. Fortunately for the Bucks, Khris Middleton made his most explosive performance this season in the playoffs by shooting down 38 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. He made four straight shots to get 11 points in 119 seconds in the last quarter, putting the Bucks in charge of the situation.

One interesting fact is that this was the third time for both Antetokounmpo and Middleton to get at least 30+10 in one game in the postseason. No pair had ever done it before in league history.

The Hawks had very good chance to win their first home game in this series if it weren't for the sprained ankle of Trae Young. Young was on fire from the beginning as he buried five triples, including two from 35+feet, to put down 32 points in the first three quarters. As long as the Bucks did not double team him, Young was unstoppable offensively.

The Hawks extended their lead to double-digit twice in the game thanks to Young's incredible performance.

However, the turning point happened when Young stepped on the foot of referee Sean Wright and fell to the ground in the end of the third quarter. Though he was not limping too much back then, Young returned to the locker room immediately and did not come back until the fourth quarter.

Young considered skipping Q4, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, but he decided to play in the end. Nonetheless, the injury affected his speed. Meanwhile, the Bucks replaced Brook Lopez with Pat Connaughton, making a five-small squad to switch everything on defense. When Young could not score facing Connaughton, the shortest plate of the bucket, you knew something was wrong with his game.

"It's sore right now," said Young after the game. "It's hurting, it's frustrating ... it's hurting a little bit and it's sore. I got some treatment on it. I'm going to go get some more in the morning. That's all I can do right now, is to get treatment."

Jeff Schultz of The Athletic said Young's status for Game 4 is uncertain. If the Hawks have to assume the worst case of Young watching G4 on the bench, they'd better figure out who can shoulder his offensive duty.

Danilo Gallinari deserves some thoughts. The 32-year-old Italian played over 35 minutes in Sunday's game to get 18 points, shooting 7-14 in field goals and 2-3 from beyond. Furthermore, when John Collins was called the fourth personal foul at the beginning of the third quarter and had to spend the whole Q3 on the bench, Gallinari played as power forward for a long time.

First-year rookie big man Onyeka Okongwu had some remarkable moves defending Antetokounmpo in several possessions in Q4. Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer has been very cautious using the 20-year-old, but Okongwu can be of extra help slowing Antetokounmpo down preying in the Hawks' paint.

Clint Capela deserves more trust as well. He played more than 37 minutes in the Hawks' close win in Game 1 but was benched for the whole Q4 on Sunday night. Though he had very limited things to do on offense, Capela is the only one on the Hawks' side to match Antetokounmpo in size and power. He should be fine facing the Bucks' small-ball squad because Antetokounmpo could not stretch out spacing either.

Game 4 will take place at State Farm Arena again on Tuesday.
