The Milwaukee Bucks kept it competitive for a quarter before dropping dead against the New York Knicks, 140-106. Jalen Brunson torched the Bucks to the tune of 44 points and Karl-Anthony Towns mixed in 30. Giannis and Dame combined for a mere 46 points.
Game Recap
The Bucks had some pretty combos early: a classic Dame and Giannis and a not-quite-classic Prince and AJax. But the Knicks buried a couple threes and Jalen Brunson went to town on AJax, who picked up three fouls early. A 7-0 Dame run brought the Bucks back in front, though, before both teams stayed neck and neck while piling on the offense (despite decent enough defending), with Giannis wreaking havoc around the rim.
