Dudley perfect in Bucks blow out of the Hawks
ATLANTA (AP) — Jared Dudley's shooting was perfect, even if his coach wouldn't quite say his game was.Dudley made all 10 shots, including four 3-pointers, and scored a season-high 24 points Friday night to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 107-77 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.Dudley matched Brooklyn's Jarrett Jack for the best-shooting night in the NBA this season."I can't say it was a perfect game because as a coach you always want more, but it was as close to a no-hitter as you can come to," Bucks coach Jason Kidd. "I thought he was great tonight on both ends."Brandon Knight added 16 points for Milwaukee, which snapped Atlanta's five-game winning streak.The Hawks had won 14 of 15 but were routed in front of a rare sellout crowd at home, where they entered with a 13-2 record that was the best in the Eastern Conference.After Dudley made back-to-back 3-pointers for a 21-18 Milwaukee lead with 2:51 left in the first quarter, the Bucks led the rest of the way and went ahead by 30 in the final period.Milwaukee (15-15) had lost three of four, seven straight to Atlanta and five straight in Philips Arena, yet dominated most of a night.Perhaps the Bucks' players-only meeting before the game helped."I think, yeah, any time the guys are disappointed in their performance, that shows you a team that cares," said Dudley, who added a season-high four of Milwaukee's 15 steals. "I want to say nine of them were open (shots)."I had good looks, I made them, my teammates kept looking for me. ...
