LAS VEGAS — The chances were there for the Hawks to continue their unanticipated run through the NBA Cup and make Tuesday night's final. Just 12 strong minutes were what Atlanta needed. But that's when the Hawks' offense abandoned itself. It went cold at just the wrong time and scored only 19 points in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 110-102 semifinal loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Hawks were not only outscored by nine points in the fourth quarter, but they made just 5 of 16 shots and missed six of their final seven attempts.
