The Knicks returned home from a competitive loss in Cleveland in search of their first home win of the season. Out of the gates, Milwaukee made that outcome seem unlikely.
But after falling behind by as many as 11 point in the 1st quarter, New York battled back to tie the game on multiple occassions before ultimately falling to Milwaukee, 99-93, at Madison Square Garden.
It was a spirited contest, including two more emphatic put-back dunks and a second career double-double for Kristaps Porzingis, who finished with 14 points and 13 boards. The Knicks battled back in a highlight-filled 3rd quarter and trailed by just two entering the fourth, but would never be able to take the lead.
