SALT LAKE CITY — Five observations from the Knicks’ chippy 112-96 loss to the Bucks at the sold-out Fiserve Forum Thursday.
1. The Knicks’ hot-shooting rookie lottery pick Kevin Knox saw his string of scoring 15-plus points in eight straight games come to an end. He was 4-for-15 for 12 points and zero assists. After shooting 40 percent from the 3-point stripe in the past eight contests, Knox shot 1-of-6 from 3 Thursday and was a minus-19 in 39 minutes. Knox also picked up five fouls — one on which he bought a pump fake at the 3-point line.
