The Milwaukee Bucks faced off against the New York Knicks on Friday in a crucial Emirates NBA Cup showdown. With a win, Milwaukee could secure a ticket to the knockout round, making this matchup highly significant.
Adding to the Bucks’ chances of pulling off an upset in New York was the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who came back from a left groin strain. His presence on the court provided a much-needed boost for Milwaukee.
The game saw the Bucks make the first significant run, taking an early 18-10 lead. However, the Knicks quickly regrouped and responded with a 9-0 run to regain the upper hand. Milwaukee surged once again to a 32-22 advantage after AJ Green drained a 28-footer, but New York managed to close the gap once more.
Thanks to Green’s 12 points in the first quarter, the Bucks finished the opening 12 minutes with a 37-33 lead.
