The New York Knicks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 118–109 on November 28 at Madison Square Garden, with Jalen Brunson leading all scorers with 37 points in a decisive home victory. The Knicks controlled the game's rhythm after a competitive opening quarter, outscoring Milwaukee 85–72 over the final three periods while holding the visitors to just 21 points in the fourth quarter. New York shot 45.2 percent from the field and made 14 three-pointers, leveraging a 44-rebound advantage and forcing 15 turnovers to establish defensive dominance with a 118.5 defensive rating. Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 30 points and the Bucks shot an efficient 52.1 percent overall while draining 18 threes, but their 21-point fourth-quarter collapse proved fatal—they managed just 109 points well below the 232.5 Vegas total. Josh Hart added 19 points for New York, whose 25 assists and 10 steals underscored balanced ball movement and pressure defense. The Knicks' third-quarter execution (31 points) and suffocating fourth-quarter finish demonstrated the defensive intensity required to neutralize elite scorers like Antetokounmpo. This win positions New York as a credible Eastern Conference contender while exposing Milwaukee's late-game vulnerability.
