The Knicks somehow outlasted the team David Fizdale said currently features the best player in the NBA.
Fizdale slapped that heady label Saturday on do-it-all Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the Knicks received several big performances from their youthful core to pull off the most exhilarating win of the season at the Garden, 136-134 in overtime over the Bucks.
First-round pick Kevin Knox responded to recent criticisms with his best shooting performance of the season, sinking 5-of-12 3-point attempts for a career-high 26 points in 38 minutes, including 19 after halftime.
