Well, the unforeseen winning streak for the Milwaukee Bucks has now climbed to four games after their 104-93 win over the New York Knicks last night.
The Bucks didn’t wait long to get things started for the night as they came flying out of the gates to take control of the game as soon as they could.

Eventually, that paid off for the Knicks midway through the second quarter as the Bucks struggled to keep up their effectiveness on both ends of the floor. The Bucks did keep them in check, only trailing by one point heading into halftime.
Entering the second half, both teams looked sluggish, with the Bucks, in particular, missing easy points on multiple occasions. That led to a decisive stretch by the Knicks as they led by as much as 12 a little more than six minutes into the third.
Before long, though, the Bucks came storming back, thanks to both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton running the show. With those two, as well as a few other key figures, the Bucks ended up finishing the third quarter on a 19-4 run and leading 76-73.
Antetokounmpo only continued to be a force into the fourth quarter and the Knicks struggled to make any headway. As the fourth quarter wore on, the Knicks only kept generating offense through mid range jumpers (largely due to Derrick Rose), which played right into the Bucks’ hands and making any chance of a comeback a pipe dream instead of a reality.
So without further ado, let’s take a deeper look at who stood out the most in the win last night.
