Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: February 6 at New York Knicks
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks will look to build on their recent success over the New York Knicks as they visit Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
The Milwaukee Bucks have won two straight against the New York Knicks, and three of the last four games between the teams dating back to the start of last season.
Not only should that record inspire plenty of confidence for Milwaukee, but it also sets something of a precedent for hard-fought games that remain in the balance until very late in the day.
When the Knicks visited Milwaukee last Friday, it took a Giannis Antetokounmpo layup with two seconds remaining to seal a win, while last year, Antetokounmpo famously hit a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer to seal a memorable Bucks win.

Another similar performance and outcome would certainly serve the Bucks well as they look to move to 7-1 since the coaching change that led to Joe Prunty being installed on an interim basis.
That good run of form has seen Milwaukee close the gap on the teams above them in the East, meaning not only is fourth place within range, but the Bucks could also threaten the Cavaliers’ notably loosening grip on third place.
With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the action ahead, and how things might play out in this clash at the Garden on Tuesday.
