The Knicks were defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks 105-110

Milwaukee Bucks prevailed over the New York Knicks, 105-110. Jalen Brunson's monster scoring performance for New York, who appeared determined to carry his team, was squandered. The Knicks trailed for the majority of the game, but Brunson kept them within striking distance with support from Quentin Grimes and Immanuel Quickley.

The difference was made by three-point shooting. Milwaukee shot 51.3 percent from the field and hit 20 three-pointers. Meanwhile, the Knicks shot only 25.6 percent of their shots, making 10 three-pointers out of 39 attempts. The offense has yet to find its stride, but the additions of Brunson and Grimes should help. The Knicks have a two-day vacation before hosting the reloaded Clippers, who now include James Harden. It won't be easy, but it's another opportunity to establish rhythm and re-energize the audience.
