Bucks Struggle Continues
The Milwaukee Bucks suffered their seventh consecutive defeat, falling 118-109 to the New York Knicks, which also knocked them out of the NBA Cup contention. Despite strong performances from their key players, Milwaukee could not overcome defensive lapses and turnovers that allowed the Knicks to maintain control.
Game Summary
The Knicks built momentum early, capitalizing on missed Bucks shots and a series of unforced errors. Milwaukee attempted a late push, but New York’s consistent scoring and ball movement proved decisive down the stretch.
Key Performances
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks in scoring and rebounding, displaying his usual intensity on both ends of the court. However, the supporting cast struggled to match New York’s rhythm. The Knicks’ balanced offense was highlighted by several players reaching double figures, with steady contributions from starters and bench players alike.
“We need to play with more urgency and discipline,” said a Bucks team representative after the game.
Looking Ahead
This loss leaves the Bucks re-evaluating their strategy as they search for ways to halt the losing streak and regain their competitive edge in the regular season.
Author summary: Milwaukee’s seventh straight defeat to the Knicks eliminates them from the NBA Cup as they continue to struggle with consistency and defensive lapses.
