The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the New York Knicks, 109-103, at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

The Bucks (15-5) were solid road favorites coming into the game, but the Knicks (10-12) served early notice they would be serving as stiff competition by heading into halftime only down by a 47-45 margin. Milwaukee was only able to add one point to its advantage during the third quarter, and New York eventually fought all the way back to knot the game at 103-103 with 47.6 seconds remaining before a Grayson Allen three-pointer and pair of Jrue Holiday free throws sealed the visitors' victory.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 37 points, adding 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block. Holiday furnished 22 points, six boards, five assists, two steals and two blocks. Allen supplied 11 points, five rebounds, four assists and one steal. Bobby Portis generated a 10-point, 12-rebound double-double that included three assists. Pat Connaughton matched Portis' scoring and also pulled down four rebounds.

RJ Barrett paced the Knicks with 26 points, complementing them with three assists and two rebounds. Julius Randle totaled 18 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Jalen Brunson registered 17 points, five boards, five assists, one steal and one block. Mitchell Robinson posted a 15-point, 20-rebound double-double that included one assist and one block.
