NBA Playoffs: Top Moments from Atlanta Hawks vs. Milwaukee Bucks Game 5

If Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals proved anything, it might be that the Milwaukee Bucks have the stronger supporting cast.

Both the Atlanta Hawks and Bucks have been hit with the injury bug in a major way at the worst possible time, with Trae Young and Giannis Antetokounmpo both ruled out of Game 5 for their respective teams.

This meant that the "others" from both teams were going to be relied upon to get a win in Game 5, and it turned out the Bucks had the edge on Thursday night.

Four different Bucks' scored at least 20 points, led by Brook Lopez's 33 points in a 123-112 win.

The Bucks now lead the series 3-2.

Here are the top moments from Game 5:

Milwaukee Bucks 123, Atlanta Hawks 112 (Milwaukee leads series 3-2)

If there were questions about who would step up early for the Bucks in the absence of Antetokounmpo, they were answered emphatically by Jrue Holiday.

The veteran guard was on fire early with seven of the Bucks' first 10 points.

Holiday didn't just make his presence felt as a scorer either in the first quarter.

He was getting his teammates involved as well, evidenced by this assist to Bobby Portis in transition.

But the real star of the opening frame was Brook Lopez, who seemingly lived above the rim all quarter with multiple thunderous dunks.

The endless highlights from the Bucks played a major role in them building a 36-22 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Lopez, Holiday, and Khris Middleton scoring in double figures in the first half was reasonable to expect with Antetokounmpo out of the lineup.

Portis exploding for 14 points might not have been so expected, but that scoring boost kept the Bucks in a position of power with a 65-56 halftime lead.

For the Hawks, Bogdan Bogdanovic did his best to keep the team within arms reach with his 13-point output in the first half.

Middleton opened the third quarter applying more pressure on the Hawks, with a spin move that left Kevin Huerter in quicksand.

While Lopez continued to dominate the Hawks on the inside.

And in the fourth quarter, the Bucks didn't let off of the gas, continuing to pour it on to provide a cushion.

That was the recipe for a Bucks' win in Game 5, dominating the Hawks en route to a 123-112 victory to take a 3-2 series lead.
