The New York Knicks entered the game with determination, leading by as much as six points and staying ahead for over six minutes. Their offensive efforts were led by a field goal percentage of nearly 40 percent and a free throw completion rate of 76 percent. The team's scoring was distributed across quarters with an impressive third-quarter performance where they racked up 30 points.


Despite their efforts, the Knicks struggled from beyond the arc, converting only about 26 percent of their three-point attempts. However, they excelled in fast break situations, scoring 15 fast break points with an efficiency of over 50 percent. The paint was another area where they showed dominance, contributing 42 points from inside.


The bench played a significant role for the Knicks as well, adding an essential contribution of 21 bench points. On defense though, they managed just one block throughout the game but compensated with six steals and forced turnovers that led to them scoring an additional 14 points off turnovers.


On the other side of the court, despite being tied three times and experiencing five lead changes throughout playtime at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee before an audience of over seventeen thousand fans; it was ultimately not enough for victory against a strong Bucks side that capitalized on their opportunities.


The Milwaukee Bucks showcased solid teamwork with ten blocks and twenty-four assists contributing significantly to their win. They also had superior shooting from long range compared to their opponents making half of their three-point shots which proved critical in securing their lead during crucial moments.
