Without their three best guards, some improbable names, and OG AnunobyThe 31 points, raised the Knicks to a 116-107 victory against the Bucks in Milwaukee.
The Knicks swept away the series of The Bucks season, a potential first round opponent.
Here are take -out dishes …
-With Miles McBride (groin) and Cam Payne (ankle) out, coach Tom Thibodeau went with a veteran Delon Wright as a starting leader. Wright, the veterinarian at 10, was in the programming mainly for his defensive prowess, and he showed it very early. The Bucks ran on the fast break with Wright Stuck in Defense Kyle Kuzma And Giannis antetokounmpo. Wright made the wise movement to anticipate Kuzma’s pass and divert it to itself.
Wright scored 10 of the 25 points in the first quarter of the Knicks. In 30 minutes, Wright scored 12 points on a shot of 5 for 9 (2 out of 5 out of three) while continuing four assists, going down with three rebounds and leaving with a flight.
–Tyler Kolek saw prolonged minutes during Wednesday’s defeat after Payne left with her ankle sprain, and He would tell you He must be more confident and aggressive when he is the leader on the field, and he did it on Friday. Playing in the same arena in which he played with Marquette, Kolek made the right reads on the breaks and held his own defense.
The recruit scored five points on a shot of 2 for 4 (1 in 2 out of three) while continuing five assists and not turning the ball in 17 minutes. It was a more-18 top on the ground.
-The turnovers were a little part of it. The Knicks scored 16 points out of 10 turnover of turnover in the first half. Milwaukee takes care of it better in the second, which helped them cut the 14 points of the half-time of the Knicks three halfway to the third, because the Knicks could not buy bucket. But then Josh Hart took over, being the attacker and pushing the pace, reaching the line three times during the 12-1 race in New York to put their two-digit lead back.
Milwaukee made 16 reversals in total and New York scored 26 points. The Knicks had eight, three in the second half. The Knicks have also exceeded the Bucks, 44-32, including on offensive glass, 14-3.
-Vo the game in one figure in the fourth, the Knicks obtained an elevator from an unexpected source. Landry Shamet made two huge three to push the advance of the Knicks to 16. Anunoby made two three in fourth. When entering the final framework, the Knicks were 0 for 9 of three.
Shamet scored 13 points on a shot of 5 for 8 (3 out of 5 out of three) of the bench.
–Cities of Karl-Anthony picked up two fast mistakes in the first quarter and its third halfway through the second. This limited the All-Star to only eight points in the first half. It was not the best shooting evening for Towns, which scored only 14 points out of 6 of the 16 shots.
With cities on the bench, Mitchell Robinson I saw more playing time in the first half, scoring two points and going down with 10 boards in 14 minutes of play. The big man finished with two points, 10 rebounds, a decisive pass and a flight in 18 minutes.
–Damian Lillard (Blood Clot) is being treatment, which has taken a lot of firepower from the Bucks offensive, but Kuzma assured this responsibility. He scored the first six points of Milwaukee, arriving at the unlimited basket. But after his explosion to start, the Knicks kept Kuzma at 20 points on a shot of 8 for 16. Antetokounmpo, however, would enter into pushes where he was unstoppable, heading for the basket. Whenever the bucks saw the advance of the Knicks becoming big, Giannis was there to get the buckets they needed.
Antetokounmpo finished with a summit of 30 out of 11 points from the 17 shots. Ryan Rollins Had a career summit of 20 points on the shooting of 8 for 12, including 3 out of 4 out of three.
-Anunoby scored more than 20 points in 10 of his last 13 games entering Friday, but did not succeed before the fourth quarter, when he scored 20 of his 31 points. On the whole, Anunoby was not effective, he pulled 9 out of 21 (3 out of 10), but he did it when it counted the most.
–Mikal Bridges was the attacking attacker in the first half. He tried 15 shots, the second one in two for him this season, but Bridges took a rear seat in the second half to Hart, Towns and Anunoby. He finished with 26 points out of 12 on 24 shots with five assists and two interceptions.
You could say that some of the Knick players did not play with each other. Injuries and new soil combinations have led to reversals of early Knicks which allowed the Bucks to return to the match in the first quarter, but they overcome the misades thanks to a strong game
-Hart was on a triple-double watch. He finished with 13 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists. He also added two interceptions and a block.
MVP game: OG Anunoby
It was a team victory, but Anunoby took over in the fourth quarter to help the Knicks withdraw.
