This time, it wasn’t a superstar who did the Knicks in. This time, it was a member of the supporting cast who drove the stake through their heart.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had just fouled out for the Bucks and the Knicks had pulled even, making the Garden crowd believe a win over a quality team was finally imminent Wednesday night. Except Grayson Allen buried a 3-pointer from the left wing with 30.9 seconds remaining and RJ Barrett, enjoying one of his best games of the season, missed on the other end.
It capped another heartbreaking home loss, another defeat in which the Knicks played well. but couldn’t finish. They have dropped their last three games at the Garden by a combined 13 points. Barrett led the Knicks with 26 points and Mitchell Robinson turned in a monster effort of 15 points and 20 rebounds. But the duo of Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson sank the Knicks, as they shot a combined 16-for-46 from the field, though they combined for 35 points.
It was a strange first 24 minutes. The Knicks held Antetokounmpo to 5-for-12 shooting and four free-throw attempts. The Bucks went just 4-for-22 on 3-point attempts, yet still led by two. The issues on the defensive glass continued for coach Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks, who let the Bucks turn eight offensive rebounds into 12 second-chance points. Limited ball movement also hurt the Knicks, resulting in just seven assists in the first half and 38.3 percent shooting.
