Knicks tied for the 3-seed with Orlando. And just a game back of a reeling Bucks bunch for 2-seed. Important to note: Milwaukee and Orlando play each other in 2 of their final 4 games next week. So the Knicks will gain ground on one of them each night… https://t.co/r4mM5jeifs

AWESOME @nyknicks win!!! Made the @Bucks wave that white flag early AND at home 👀😬 #letsgo #knickstape #knicksnation
Kings win puts a lot of pressure on Lakers tonight vs. Wolves. Wolves need it for 1-seed.
Bucks -4 ❌ This is the latest in the season a team has lost four straight games outright as favorites since the Lakers in 2011. https://t.co/gK44VkuUAD
Knicks magic number for a playoff spot is one.
Final: Knicks 122, Bucks 109. Knicks improve to 46-32, fourth in the East. • Brunson 43-6-8 • DiVincenzo 26-4-3, 8-11 3Ps • Hartenstein 18 & 10 • Bogdanovic 15 pts • Hart 7-9-9 • Antetokounmpo 28-15-8 Knicks outscored the Bucks 72-48 in the second half.

The Orlando Magic and New York Knicks are both one game back in the loss column from the 2-seed. Magic play Bucks twice this week for tiebreaker, Bucks hold tiebreaker over the Knicks.
Dame time? ElOhEl. Injury depleted Knicks humiliated Bucks in their own building, in front of women, children and Doc Rivers.
Knicks needed this big second half because it may have been a must-win to keep hope of home court in the first round, given that Milwaukee has two left with Orlando and it's hard to pick the Bucks against anyone right now.
If Dante had shot like this with the Bucks, he’d still be in Milwaukee
8* threes https://t.co/4j4QtiIHTo
Bucks last 7 games: Lose to Lakers without LeBron Lose to Pelicans without Ingram Win against Hawks Lose to the 15-64 Wizards Lose to the 27-51 Grizz Lose to the 25-53 Raptors Lose to the Knicks at home with a double digit lead
Don’t really see any reason the Knicks can’t make a serious run Only team with depth to compete with Boston and just insane chemistry
It’s the Bucks offense that is the issue, not the defense.

The Bucks are one of the five worst teams in the NBA right now. What a disaster.
Odd choice - fans chanting overrated at Brunson ... as he has 41 points and the Knicks now are up 14 with 2:36 left.
Mike Breen bang. Knicks have the best player in the EAST. Finals is still on
Jaylen Brown scores 26 points and reaches 10,000 in his career in Celtics’ 124-107 win over Portland. https://t.co/jzNJ9LQa71 https://t.co/shiMRyM3A4
Brunson up to 41 -- that's his 9th 40-plus game this season. Bernard King holds the franchise record with 13 games of at least 40 in a season. (Brunson had at least 38 3 other times)
☘️ We’re not done yet. #bleedgreen https://t.co/5fsPEMZkC8
The Knicks have begun the fourth quarter with an 8-2 run as Jalen Brunson rests. Guarding their behinds off and some big-time shots from Deuce McBride and Bojan Bogdanovic.
Jalen Brunson is cooking in the 3rd quarter 🔥 14 of his 37 PTS is in the 3rd! NYK-MIL | Live on NBA TV 📲 https://t.co/DBZnP6SMDo https://t.co/4BZPDThywV
First few minutes of the fourth quarter will be massive. This is when Brunson typically rests. Can the Knicks hold onto the lead without him? Can the Bucks recapture it when the Knicks offense is at its most vulnerable?
Through three quarters, the Knicks lead the Bucks 89-85. • Brunson 37-5-5 • Hartenstein 15 & 9, 7-8 FGs • DiVincenzo 14 pts • Hart 7-8-8 • Antetokounmpo 24-10-5
Knicks up 89-85 entering the fourth and Brunson is up to 35 points -- and if gets his usual rest that means the Knicks have to survive the next few minutes. Hart approaching triple-double territory - 7 pts, 8 rebounds, 8 assists.
Trailing by 11 at halftime knicks have gone up 3 midway through the third on a OG steal of Giannis and fast break layup for Hartenstein...and a lot of Brunson stuff before that.

Brunson is Brunsoning again. 17 points in 11 minutes.
Jalen Brunson up to 17 points -- and easily manuvering through a defense that has very little else on the floor as a threat. Until McBride just hit a 3, it was Brunson 15 and everyone else on the floor zero.
The Knicks are playing with this lineup that has some serious spacing issues and Brunson is weaving through it
Heat down by 17 at half in most important game of year. Disappointing. If this holds, play-in likely, though not definite. One path to avoid play in, with loss tonight, would be Heat strong close/ Magic collapse (Orlando has Bucks twice, at Houston, at 76ers, and Bulls tonight).
