Antetokounmpo scores 37, Rollins adds 25 in Bucks' 121-111 victory over Knicks
MILWAUKEE -- — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 37 points, eight rebounds and seven assists as the Milwaukee Bucks erased a 12-point halftime deficit and beat the New York Knicks 121-111 on Tuesday night.
Milwaukee's Ryan Rollins added a career-high 25 points. New York’s Jalen Brunson scored 36 points but hurt himself midway through the fourth quarter in a play that sparked Milwaukee’s winning rally.
Brunson appeared to injure his leg initially while scrambling for a loose ball in the fourth quarter. He remained on the floor but was moving gingerly. Then, he was dribbling behind the 3-point line near Milwaukee’s bench when he fell backward in clear pain and lost the ball.
As Brunson continued to sit on the floor, Antetokounmpo got a steal and dunked on the other end to tie the game at 103-all with 6:13 remaining and start an 8-0 run.
Brunson stayed in the game after a timeout, but the Knicks couldn’t slow Milwaukee’s momentum. Antetokounmpo put Milwaukee ahead for good by converting a running layup with 5:31 left.
Mikal Bridges had 24 points for New York.
Milwaukee, which trailed 71-59 at halftime, snapped New York’s five-game winning streak in this series. Milwaukee had won nine straight from the Knicks immediately before this stretch, which began on Christmas Day of 2023.
The Bucks were coming off a 118-113 loss at Cleveland in which they were missing Kevin Porter Jr . (sprained left ankle), Kyle Kuzma (sprained left ankle) and Cole Anthony (illness). Anthony and Kuzma returned to action Tuesday, but Porter missed a third straight game.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers said before the game that Porter's “going to be out a bit” and that it's too early to tell when the guard might return.
“We're not going to rush him because we don't want this to become chronic,” Rivers said. “It was a bad turn, so we just want to be patient.”
New York remained without Mitchell Robinson , who hasn't played yet this season as the Knicks continue to monitor his injured left ankle.

Bucks: Host the Golden State Warriors on Thursday.
