The New York Knicks’ holes at point guard were devastatingly clear in Saturday night’s 109-89 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
One night later, it was the point guard play that helped them the most against the dangerous Milwaukee Bucks. Elfrid Payton, who scored no points against Philadelphia, scored 27 points on 16 shots. He sunk all three of his three-point attempts and added seven assists.
New York also saw another strong night from Alec Burks, who scored 18 points off the bench, including four three-pointers. Julius Randle led the Knicks with 29 points and 14 rebounds.
