As the season has descended into another march to the bottom of the standings the Knicks have clung to the notion that at least they were getting better, even if it wasn’t showing up in the standings.
The Milwaukee Bucks squashed that belief almost from the opening tip Monday, putting on display the vast difference between the best team in the Eastern Conference and the worst, piling on the Knicks from the opening minute and never letting up as they pummeled them, 132-88 at Fiserv Forum.
