The Milwaukee Bucks put on a show in Madison Square Garden Tuesday night as they bowled over the New York Knicks to go 7-1 in the Joe Prunty era.
The Milwaukee Bucks’ first trip to Madison Square Garden this season provided the type of fireworks that was expected heading into it as the Bucks took care of business against the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, winning 103-89.
The Bucks got off to a strong start right after the opening tip, but the Knicks quickly shook off their early rust to keep pace and eventually go ahead of the Bucks midway through the opening quarter. As disjointed as the Bucks’ rhythm was throughout the first handful of minutes, the Bucks were able to hold their ground and trailed by one going into the second.

After opening up the second basically stuck in mud, the Bucks strung together a 20-7 run from the 7:12 minute mark onwards throughout the period to lead 50-46 heading into halftime.
It was in the third quarter when the Bucks blew open the game in their favor as they built their lead well into double digits during the frame and continued to pour it on before closing out the quarter on a sloppy note.
Leading 76-63 at the start of the fourth, the Bucks put their foot on the proverbial gas pedal just enough to eliminate any threat of the Knicks potentially making a run to make it a game once again.
So without further ado, let’s take a deeper look at what stood out in the Bucks’ win over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night.
