At Madison Square Garden in New York, the Milwaukee Bucks won against the Knicks (130-111) this Saturday and achieved a seventh success in a row in the NBA. This victory allows them to confirm their second place in the Eastern Conference, just ahead of the Boston Celtics who challenge the Clippers this Saturday at 9:30 p.m.
Bobby Portis X factor, Jalen Brunson too alone
If the two franchises responded blow for blow in the first minutes of the match, the Bucks widened a small gap at the end of the first quarter (36-27, 12th). An advantage of around ten points that Adrian Griffin’s players retained until the break (62-54, 24th). Returning from the locker room, the Milwaukee team, led by a remarkable Bobby Portis coming off the bench (23 points, 11 rebounds), accelerated to win easily.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was once again very complete by compiling 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Very skilful from long distance (16/32), the Bucks left their evening opponents no chance. On the Knicks side, Jalen Brunson (36 points) tried everything but was too lonely to worry Damian Lillard’s gang.
These two teams will face each other again on Monday December 25 at 6 p.m., still at Madison Square Garden, for the Christmas Games.
