NBA in-season tournament: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks fly past Knicks to reach semifinals in Las Vegas

After one of their best offensive nights of the season, the Milwaukee Bucks are headed to Las Vegas.

The Bucks flew past the New York Knicks 146-122 on Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the NBA’s in-season tournament. The win officially sends them to the semifinals on Thursday in Las Vegas, where they’ll take on the Indianapolis Pacers. The Bucks, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 35 points, shot a remarkable 23-of-38 from beyond the 3-point line as a team in the win.

They scored a season high in points as a team and put up at least 37 points in each of the first three quarters — which marks the first time that has happened to the Knicks since Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game in 1962.
