Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 9 vs New York Knicks
By Adam McGee
Major key for Milwaukee – Take care of business
Having struggled their way through an incredibly tough stretch in the schedule, the Bucks will be faced with a very different kind of prospect on Friday night.
The visit of a Porzingis-less Knicks team marks the first of a stretch of four games against teams firmly rooted in the lottery for Milwaukee, and in other words, a portion of the schedule when they must pick up the wins required to throw them back into the mix for a higher placed playoff seeding.
The Bucks’ overall record has been built on taking care of business against lesser opponents and somewhat padding their record, as Milwaukee is 20-7 against teams under .500 on the season to date.
While that hasn’t always been a staple of how the Bucks have played over the years, it has been one of their greatest strengths this season and it needs to persist beyond the team’s recent struggles.
Milwaukee will have a significant talent advantage, and now they just need to bring a professional performance to the table to accompany that.
