MIL 103, NYK 89: Knicks Fall at MSG Despite Kanter’s 19 points and 16 Boards

How It Happened:
After a competitive first quarter, the Bucks seized momentum in the second by starting the period on a 14-5 run. Unfortunately for the Knicks, Kristaps Porzingis’ knee injury coincided with Milwaukee’s spurt. Porzingis fell to the floor following a spectacular dunk over Giannis Antetokounmpo at the 8:46 mark of the second quarter. New York’s All-Star big man went to the locker room and did not return to action after scoring 10 points and swatting three shots in 11 minutes. The Bucks continued to apply pressure in the third frame by outscoring the home team 26-17.
