Dejounte Murray took over the reins for injured Trae Young and finished with 25 points and 11 assists Monday night as the host Atlanta Hawks handed the Milwaukee Bucks their first loss of the season, 117-98.
Rookie AJ Griffin, who had 23 points combined in his first five NBA games, came off the bench to score 24, helping the Hawks win their third straight and avenge an earlier loss at Milwaukee.
Giannis Antetokounmpo matched Murray with 25 points for the Bucks, the last unbeaten team whose 9-0 start had equalled the 14th-longest season-opening winning streak in NBA history.
