Feb 20 (The Sports Xchange) - Jabari Parker is starting to come into his own.
Parker scored a career-high 28 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, lifting the Bucks past the inconsistent Atlanta Hawks 117-109 in double overtime on Saturday at Philips Arena.
Picked second overall by Milwaukee in the 2014 NBA Draft, Parker suffered a season-ending knee injury last December that curtailed his rookie year. Like the rest of the Bucks, he has been inconsistent for much of this season, but posted his second straight double-double on Saturday.
Point guard Michael Carter-Williams scored six straight points to open the second overtime, putting the Bucks up 111-105 with 3:21 to play.
