The Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks have made history by playing an NBA exhibition game in Abu Dhabi.
It’s the contest between two American professional teams ever played in the Middle East.
The Hawks prevailed 123-113 Thursday afternoon but both sides played their starters in nearly half of the action.
Giannis Antetokounmpo played 21 minutes and scored 19 points.
He had seven rebounds and a pair of assists.
The Bucks return to action against the Hawks again Saturday with the tip-off in Atlanta scheduled for noon.
