Bucks stopped in Atlanta 98-90

ATLANTA -- The Bucks cut an 18 point deficit to start the 4th quarter to 4, but came up short in Atlanta, 98-90.

Led by Brandon Jennings, who scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half, Milwaukee made things interesting; but Jennings missed a foul shot that would have brought coach Jim Boylan's team to within 3; then he came up short on a tough jump shot.

The Bucks were hurt by thirty-seven percent shooting, along with the tag team of Jeff Teague and Al Horford, who combined for 53 points.

Monta Ellis, who had been red hot, suffered through a 2-14 shooting performance; he finished with five points.  Larry Sanders had a strong game (19 points, 14 rebounds 4 blocks).

Milwaukee played once again without injured Luc Mbah a Moute and Ersan Ilyasova.
