Game Backdrop & First Half—Knicks Take Early Command
At Fiserv Forum, the Knicks looked poised to continue their winning streak versus Milwaukee — having swept the Bucks last season and led by Jalen Brunson’s dynamic first-half performance. By halftime, New York commanded a 71-59 lead, with Brunson scoring relentlessly and Mikal Bridges effectively spacing the floor.
Giannis’ Third-Quarter Surge & Momentum Shift
The turning point arrived in the third quarter, as Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo took over. Giannis poured in 23 of his 37 points after halftime, paired with 8 rebounds and 7 assists, driving Milwaukee’s comeback. As Brunson nursed a leg injury in the fourth, Giannis seized his moment: a decisive steal and dunk followed by a running layup put Milwaukee ahead for good, sparking an 8-0 run to close out New York’s hopes.
Ryan Rollins added a career-high 25 points to support Milwaukee’s surge, giving coach Doc Rivers needed depth as stars like Kuzma and Porter returned from injury.
