Knicks Rout Bucks as Milwaukee Suffers Seventh Straight Loss
New York won by 32 points at Madison Square Garden, led by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns on offense.
The New York Knicks recorded their fourth consecutive NBA win, convincingly defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 117-85 at Madison Square Garden. The hosts dominated the matchup and finished with a 32-point lead, while Milwaukee’s poor run of results continued.
Jalen Brunson was the Knicks’ leading scorer with 23 points. Karl-Anthony Towns made an important contribution on both ends of the court, scoring 21 points and grabbing 16 rebounds. The two players combined for 44 points, more than a third of the team’s total.
For New York, this was its fourth consecutive win, taking its season record to six wins and four losses. Milwaukee, meanwhile, suffered its seventh straight loss and was left with just one win in its first 11 games.
The Bucks finished the game with just 85 points, the lowest total among the teams that played on that evening’s schedule. The wide margin reflected Milwaukee’s difficulty in matching the hosts’ pace.
The Knicks aim to build on this positive run to climb higher in the Eastern Conference, while Milwaukee needs a quick turnaround after its poor start to the season.
