The Milwaukee Bucks suffered their seventh consecutive defeat, losing 118-109 to the New York Knicks. The loss also ended their hopes in the NBA Cup tournament.
Milwaukee struggled defensively throughout the game, allowing New York to build consistent momentum. Despite several attempts to close the gap, the Bucks couldn’t overcome the Knicks’ balanced scoring and strong second-half performance.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with a solid offensive effort, but the team lacked depth in scoring support. The Knicks capitalized on turnovers and converted key possessions late in the fourth quarter to secure the win.
The defeat marks a concerning stretch for Milwaukee, now on a seven-game skid. The Bucks’ focus will shift toward rediscovering rhythm and improving transition defense as they prepare for upcoming matchups.
"We have to regroup and find our energy again," said a team representative after the loss.
