TheMilwaukee Bucks are back in the win column after snapping a three-game losing skid on Monday by beating the Atlanta Hawks on the road to the tune of a 112-110 score.
Milwaukee made a great defensive stop on Hawks veteran shooting guard CJ McCollum near the end of regulation to secure the victory — Milwaukee’s 18th of the season against 24 losses.
Milwaukee got a big boost from all of its starters, including big manMyles Turner, who contributed a total of 14 points on 5/10 shooting from the floor with four 3-pointers and eight rebounds. Guard AJ Green also delivered the goods, as he racked up 18 points all coming from his six made shots from behind the arc.
Turner sends a message to Green after the Bucks’ win against the Hawks
The former Texas Longhorns star Turner, who is also in his first year with Milwaukee, went on social media following the victory over Atlanta and sent an appreciative message for Green.
“One Of The Realest,” Turner wrote as a caption for an Instagram Story repost of Green’s own IG post that shows the former Northern Iowa star helping Turner get up from the floor.

Green has been having a decent 2025-26 campaign, as he is averaging 10.4 points while shooting an impressive 43.7 percent from the 3-point region. With Damian Lillard gone, he’s been among those who have gotten increased playing time and more touches.
The Bucks hope that Green will have another solid outing this coming Wednesday, as they face the reigning NBA champions Oklahoma City Thunder at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
