The Milwaukee Bucks restored hope with an impressive win on Star Wars Night.
They’re developing a habit of doing this. Just as the Milwaukee Bucks put together a couple of performances that fill you with despair, they bounce back with a game that gives real cause for optimism.
With point guard injuries meaning that O.J. Mayo would start in that spot for this game against the New York Knicks, Bucks fans could be excused for approaching the game with some trepidation.

Kristaps Porzingis has been on a tear, creating highlight after highlight of late, and as a result the Knicks are much better than anticipated. They don’t have anywhere near Milwaukee’s level of talent though, and thankfully on this occasion, that shone through for the Bucks.

Let’s dig in a little deeper though and get down to our grades and reactions from an important Bucks win.
