Despite some nerves, the Milwaukee Bucks were able to defeat the visiting New York Knicks, 124-113.
This game was new Bucks, then classic Bucks, then new Bucks, and vice versa. It kept going back-and-forth. Milwaukee built a massive lead thanks to hot 3-point shooting, with Khris Middleton contributing 19 points in the first half. However, the second half featured a collapse that saw the Knicks come allllllll the way back, thus returning painful memories from last season.
In the end, the Bucks would ride things out and earn a hard-earned victory.
