The Bucks set up the tone and gained double-digit leads several times throughout the game, leading by 13 points in the third and by 14 in the fourth quarter. The Knicks fought back every time and successfully nullified their lead whenever they tried. At the end, Brook Lopez missed a couple of free throws that could have sent the game into a second period of overtime as the Knicks marked the seventh win. And this one was against the #2 team in the league right now.

Kevin Knox shot with more confidence and scored 26 points off the bench, shooting 9-20 from the field and making five threes. Damyean Dotson added 21 points after going flawless from long distance with 5 from 5 and Tim Hardaway Jr. added 21 also. Noah Vonleh finished with 15 points and 5 rebounds but was fouled out in the extra period.

The Knicks are now 8-16 with a partial record of 4-3 in the last seven games.
