MILWAUKEE (Ticker) - The Atlanta Hawks will try bounce back whenthey met the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.


Joe Johnson poured in a season-best 39 points but it wasn'tenough as rookie Kevin Durant' 3-pointer at the buzzer sent theHawks to a 126-123 double-overtime loss to the SeattleSuperSonics on Friday.


"We came out a little flat to start the game," Hawks swingmanJosh Childress said. "That happens over the course of theseason. The important thing was that we were able to bounce backin the second half."


Al Horford, one of the Hawks' first-round picks, continues to bea positive off the bench for coach Mike Woodson. The 21-year-oldhas managed to grab double-digit rebounds in seven of nine games theseason.


Michael Redd scored 31 points and Andrew Bogut chipped in 23 and12 boards as Milwaukee ended its two-game slide withWednesday's 102-99 victory over Memphis.


Since inking a multi-year contract in the offseason, Bucks guardMo Williams has struggled to regain his form from a season ago.He is averaging 12.3 points - almost five fewer than the2006-07 campaign.


The Hawks dropped two of three meetings against the Bucks lastyear, including a 102-96 decision here on April 16.
