Following a strong third quarter, the Bucks were able to take care of business against the New York Knicks, posting a 119-108 victory.
Right away to begin this one, Giannis picked up where he left off, snapping off a quick flurry of points to get Milwaukee rolling. Cold shooting plagued them a little bit in the opening quarter, as the team went just 1-of-10 from deep. However, their defense remained strong, keeping the Knicks at bay. A tip-in from Bobby Portis as the buzzer sounded gave them a two-point lead going into the second, 26-24.
Things would be razor thin throughout the bulk of the second quarter, with neither team able to rattle off any streams of momentum.
