ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks are following a familiar playoff script in their Eastern Conference finals against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Hawks won their opener at Milwaukee before losing Game 2. They followed the same path in winning their first two playoff series against the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers. Game 3 is Sunday night in Atlanta. The staggering 125-91 Game 2 loss was a reminder that the Hawks are starting three players _ Trae Young, John Collins and Kevin Huerter _ who are in their first postseason. They will need to regroup against a Milwaukee team playing in its second conference finals appearance in three years and that was widely expected to contend for a title this season.
