Lead is now 50-38. Tough to compete when you're shooting ust 40% and force three pointers that miss their target (3-10). Bucks on the other hand shoot over 52% and they're 6-11 from long distance. It's that type of game where Robinson's absence is felt real bad, we're unable to stop Giannis or Lopez
Brunson with an incredible three point buzzer beater at the end of the first half, i thought he was also fouled but the Knicks cut the lead 61-54 after trailing 55-40 five minutes earlier.
Brunson 21 pts, Randle 12, the other players in single digits. Barrett with a lousy 1-7 from the field so far..

FInal score Bucks 130 - Knicks 111.
Barrett was just horrible and useless (5-17), he made 4 of his field goals in the fourth quarter, Thibs should have pulled him out in the second and third. Brunson hasn't scored a point during the fourth but finished with 36. Randle's shooting was just under 50% but he was 10/10 from the free throw line. In fact, the Knicks missed only 1 of their 20 free throws (Barrett). Benched produced just 13 points with Quickley scoring 7. Hartenstein in double-double with 12 pts and 13 boards, it's difficult to do all the work without another big man. Gibson is not a real center but right now he's all we got and he's doing what he can so Hartenstein can get some minutes of rest. Expecting the sweep on Christmas day

Did you miss my post about DeMarcus Cousins.
I missed the afternoon game, I'm watching the evening game 6 pm on NBA TV
End of the First Quarter .. Knicks 27 - Bucks 36
The Bucks owned us in the first qtr.
The Bucks have a nice backup PG in playmaker Payne moving the ball around on offense.
Portis out rebounding us in the 2nd quarter, and Giannis & Middleton are scoring at will keeping a Bucks 12 point lead.
Our Knicks shots are not falling in the first half of the game.
The Bucks are just too BIG & FAST for the Knicks
