Jamal Crawford saw the end to his series-long shooting slump coming, making a promise after the pregame shootaround: It’ll be back tonight.
Crawford then went out and finally played like the NBA’s sixth man of the year in the playoffs, scoring 24 points to help the Atlanta Hawks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 83-69 on Friday night to force a seventh game in the first-round series…
Carlos Delfino scored 20 for the Bucks, who came into the game hoping to finish off their heavily favored opponent but instead went completely flat coming out of halftime and couldn’t pull off a late rally attempt…
Brandon Jennings scored 12 points on 4-for-15 shooting, including 1 of 9 from 3-point range…
John Salmons finished with eight points on 2-for-13 shooting.
Joe Johnson scored 22 points, and Al Horford had 15 points and 15 rebounds for Atlanta.
