Do they award bonus points for style, for flair, for aesthetics? No? Good. The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the New York Knicks last night, and it was far from beautiful. The most important thing is that this game is over, and that Khris Middleton might be back very soon.
Don’t get me wrong, getting a win on the road is always a good thing, especially when it puts you at 15-5 and solidifies your status as a top-3 team this early in the regular season (the only teams with 15+ wins so far are the Phoenix Suns and the Boston Celtics, who are enjoying some hot jump shooting compared to league averages).
