The New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 117–85 on November 10 for their fourth straight win. Jalen Brunson led New York with 23 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 points and 16 rebounds.
What the box score shows
New York finished with 40 rebounds, including four on offense. That means 36 came on the defensive end. Towns accounted for 40 percent of all Knicks rebounds, a useful way to see his contribution alongside Brunson’s scoring.
Brunson went 8-for-8 at the line. Those free throws made up more than a third of his scoring, even though he made just one three-pointer. Towns’ double-double and Brunson’s trips to the line show two different ways the starters helped build a comfortable margin.
What comes next
Milwaukee hosts the Lakers on November 11. After an 85-point outing in New York, the Bucks’ next game offers a quick chance to see whether their offense can recover on the second night of a back-to-back.
