C. You have to take any New York Knicks performance with a grain of salt these days. Without their franchise player, Kristaps Porzingis, it would be difficult to imagine the Knicks having very much success for the rest of the year.
<p>Friday spelled their sixth straight defeat overall, and they have lost all three matchups against Milwaukee this season. The Knicks played tight in the first half, and even outperformed the Bucks for much of the third quarter, but when Giannis Antetokounmpo decided to put the game to bed, he was once again too much for the Knicks to overcome.</p>
<p>New York played hard until the few final possessions, not waving the white flag, to their credit. Even after Milwaukee sat Giannis Antetokounmpo, and put in Xavier Munford.</p>. Eastern Conference. 24-42. NEW YORK KNICKS
