Let’s take a moment and flashback to this season’s opener. The Milwaukee Bucks, surrounded by hype and excitement, hosted the New York Knicks. The Knicks were a huge disappointment the season before and came into this game with considerably more talent on their roster. Still, the Bucks were favored and expected to win the game.
Not so fast. The Bucks were outscored and outplayed by the Knicks in every quarter and ended up losing by an embarrassing 25 points. Not an ideal way to start off the season.
Since then, however, the Bucks have handled their business against the Knicks.
