MILWAUKEE -- The history of bad blood between the Bucks and the Knicks had a new chapter written in Milwaukee's 112-96 victory on Thursday night when Enes Kanter was ejected in the fourth quarter after receiving two quick technicals.
The problems started when Kanter was elbowed over the eye by Thon Maker while Kanter was trying to get an offensive rebound. On the next trip down the floor, Giannis Antetokounmpo drove to the basket and Kanter hit him in the face with his left hand as he went to swat the ball.
Antetokounmpo, clearly in pain, fell to the floor, and Kanter stared at the prone player as he ran back toward midcourt.
