The recent games have seen the Bucks showcasing their offensive prowess and defensive solidity. In their last game against the Knicks just two days prior, they secured a convincing 130-111 victory. Their scoring was well-distributed across quarters with an impressive 53 percent field goal rate and an even more striking 50 percent from beyond the arc. Notably, they dominated rebounds with a total of 57 and maintained a lead for nearly 47 minutes of playtime.


The team's efficiency has been remarkable; they posted an efficiency game score of over 100 in each of their past three games, peaking at an astounding 122.4 against San Antonio Spurs where they also achieved their biggest lead of 24 points. Their assist-to-turnover ratio has been consistently above average – reaching as high as 5.67 – indicating smart ball handling and teamwork.


Defensively, Milwaukee has kept opponents' offensive points per possession below or around one point which is indicative of tight defense that doesn't give away easy scores.


Playing away from home this time around might pose additional challenges for the Bucks; however, considering their current form and confidence levels after recent performances, fans can expect them to adapt quickly to any adversities presented by "The World's Most Famous Arena."


Milwaukee's strategy will likely revolve around maintaining its strong defensive stance while exploiting any weaknesses in New York's armor through fast breaks and efficient shooting – areas where they've excelled recently.


Fans eager to catch this exciting matchup can tune into ESPN channel 206 on December 25th at noon Central Time (CT). The game promises not only festive cheer but also top-tier basketball action as Milwaukee aims to gift its supporters another win under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden.
