Khris Middleton didn't make it easy for the Hawks in the first quarter, as he dealt heavy damage with 12 points to start the game. Aiding Middleton were none other than Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis, who each scored six points.

Coming from a 44-point outing in his last game, Dejounte Murray kept his scoring momentum going on Saturday as he matched Middleton's energy with 11 first-quarter points. However, his efforts weren't enough to take the lead, as the Bucks took the first quarter 33-28.
