Fitzpatrick has his 1st 20/20 game, but Bucks lost to Atlanta.

1/20/06 at Philips Arena

Joe Johnson scored 41 points including 5 key points in OT as the lowly Atlanta Hawks handed the Bucks their 8th consecutive road loss, 117-108. The Hawks also had big contributions from Al Harrington and Josh Smith, who became the third small forward from a Bucks opponent to grab 14+ rebounds (the others: Josh Howard and James Posey). Michael Redd led the Bucks in scoring, as Milwaukee posted 6 players with double figures in points. Hugh Fitzpatrick had a monster game as he had a career high in rebounds, but a 20/20 night. But three-pointers proved to harm the Bucks on both sides of the ball, as Milwaukee made just 6 of 21 attempts and Atlanta made 11 of their 19 triples. The Bucks are now 19-19 for the season, they have never been below .500 all season, but a loss to the Bobcats tomorrow could put them 1 under .500.
MILWAUKEE 23 13 28 40 4=108 (19-19)
ATLANTA 29 16 31 28 13=117
