Milwaukee’s Brandon Jennings doesn’t exactly lack self-confidence, so he knows cockiness when he sees it. And the rookie guard thinks the Atlanta Hawks came into Game 3 in Milwaukee expecting to blow out the Bucks. Instead, Milwaukee gave its heavily favored first-round playoff rivals something to think about: a 107-89 drubbing Saturday that cut Atlanta’s series lead to 2-1. The Bucks now have a chance to even the series at home in Monday’s Game 4 before heading back to Atlanta. Fueled by a raucous home crowd, the Bucks used hot shooting and good defense to take a commanding 36-19 lead in the first quarter. The Hawks never really recovered. Hawks players expected the Bucks to come out with extra energy at home, but only to a point.

Hawks coach Mike Woodson said his team needs to learn how to deal with adversity, especially on the road. It was a continuation of recent road woes for the Hawks, who were 19-22 on the road in the regular season and have only one road win in the playoffs going back to the 2007-08 season. From a defensive perspective, Milwaukee Bucks coach Scott Skiles said he didn’t really recognize the team that was beaten thoroughly in the first two games of the series. He saw something more familiar from his players in Game 3. The Bucks probably can’t be expected to play defense as consistently as they did in the regular season. Not with their last line of defense, center Andrew Bogut, sidelined for the rest of the season because of injuries. But after allowing the Hawks to shoot 50.6 percent from the floor through the first two games, Milwaukee held the Hawks to 39.1 percent shooting Saturday.
