NBA Playoffs Hawks-Bucks: FS1's Skip Bayless Tweets About First Half

The Milwaukee Bucks have been in control of the Atlanta Hawks all game and lead 65-56 at halftime.
FS1's Skip Bayless Tweeted about the game at halftime, and his Tweet can be seen in a post that is embedded below.
Just hard to believe the Hawks, with a chance to take control of a conference finals, came out lifeless in tonight's 1st quarter. Yes, no Trae - but more important, NO GIANNIS. And the Hawks played give-up D and fell behind by 20. Now it's back to 9. But hole might be too deep.
