On Christmas Day, the Milwaukee Bucks were defeated by the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Surprisingly (at least to me), Jalen Brunson was the most productive scorer on either team, tallying 38 points on 15-of-28 shooting. Julius Randle and RJ Barrett also pulled their weight offensively, adding 24 and 21 respectively. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard each had 32 points, and Khris Middleton had 24 of his own.
Game Summary
Giannis kicked off the scoring with an alley-oop off of a lob by Brook Lopez, and he notched a mid-range jumper from the left baseline shortly after for good measure.
