After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Bucks 131-116. The tempo dragged the Bucks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bucks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it

- Bucks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
