NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns led a balanced attack as the New York Knicks overwhelmed the Milwaukee Bucks 117-85 on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to four games.
The Knicks' starting duo combined with a productive bench unit to dominate both ends of the floor. New York built a substantial lead and never relinquished control, holding Milwaukee to just 85 points in a statement defensive performance.
Brunson orchestrated the offense efficiently while Towns provided inside-out scoring and rebounding. The Knicks' reserves maintained the intensity throughout, outscoring their Bucks counterparts and allowing the starters to rest during the fourth quarter.
Milwaukee struggled to find offensive rhythm against New York's aggressive defense, shooting poorly from the field and committing turnovers that led to transition opportunities for the Knicks.
The victory improves New York's record and continues their strong early-season form. The Knicks will look to extend their streak in their next outing, while the Bucks aim to regroup after their most lopsided defeat of the young season.
