As the Knicks hit the midway point of their season Monday night, they paid tribute to their first half by going hot and cold across 48 minutes.
That meant taking a 17-point lead by the third quarter before watching it slip away by the opening minutes of the fourth.
The loss snapped the Knicks’ four-game winning streak on a night when Jalen Brunson’s 44 points were not enough. The Knicks hit the halfway point of the season on a down note after their previous 17 games featured an eight-game winning streak followed by a five-game losing streak followed by a four-game winning streak.
The teams mostly traded buckets for the next eight minutes, with the game tied at 97 with two minutes left before Holiday left his mark — a 3-pointer that put the Bucks up 103-99 with 47.1 seconds left and a contested jumper that extended the lead to 105-101 with 29.1 seconds to go. Soon after, Brunson quickly put the Knicks on his back. The point guard poured in 18 of the Knicks’ 22 points in the first quarter, allowing them to head into the second tied 22-22.
