Knicks win sixth straight; Defeat Bucks 115-94

The New York Knicks won their sixth straight game today as they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 115-94.

Carmelo Anthony played just three quarters, but he impacted the game in his time on the court. Anthony was very solid today as he took advantage of some poor defense by Milwaukee. He scored a team high 23 points including a solid seven rebounds. His play this season has been consistent and that continued today.

Off the bench Tim Hardaway Jr. played another strong game as he scored 20 points. His play off the bench during this streak has been very important. He comes out ready each and every night and proves it on the court.

The Bucks proved why they are one of the leagues worst this season. They struggled to run their offense and their defense was really poor. They don’t have the star power to keep up with teams, but today they really showed it. Nate Wolters was the team’s leading scorer as he scored 15 points. Today the Bucks simply didn’t have the firepower to keep up with the Knicks.

Overall this was a very important win for New York in terms of the playoff picture. The Knicks will next play on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. That will be a very big challenge for New York, but with how their playing they should present a tough challenge to the Pacers.

This game was over early, but the Knicks did an excellent job in continuing to play. Everyone played hard and good basketball, which made for a lopsided win.
