On April 8, Beijing time, the Bucks played at home against the Knicks, and the Bucks lost to the Knicks 109-122 at the end of the game. The Bucks have been in a very bad state recently, although Lillard once missed the game due to injury, but the Bucks really shouldn't lose to the Wizards, Grizzlies and Raptors in a row, and although the Bucks are against a team like the Knicks in this game, you must know that the Knicks are missing Randle, on the other hand, the Bucks' lineup in this game is relatively neat, Lillard and Brother Alphabet can play, so the Bucks have no excuse in this game to stop the team's decline.
Lillard took the lead in helping the Bucks score at the start of the first quarter, but soon Brunson and Anunoby also helped the Knicks score, and in the next game, Antetokounmpo and Portis continued to score, and the Bucks led by six points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, Brother Alphabet's outburst helped the Bucks open the score, but fortunately, DiVincenzo and Bogdan played to help the Knicks catch up with the score, but under the play of Lopez and others, the Bucks still held the lead, and the Bucks led by 9 points at halftime. In the second half, Hartenstein helped the Knicks chase points, although Beasley scored to stabilize the situation, but the Knicks still completed the comeback under the leadership of Brunson, and the Knicks led by 4 points at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Knicks extended their lead, although Lillard and Portis scored to stop the bleeding, but Brunson continued to score, and DiVincenzo also maintained a three-point state, and finally the Bucks defeated the Knicks.
The Knicks were able to win the game, Brunson must be a great contribution, after all, Brunson was powerful in this game, Brunson hit the inside line and can cause huge damage, not to mention that Brunson was able to hit three points in this game, and Brunson was 43 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists at the end of the game. At the same time, in this game, the Warriors veteran DiVincenzo had an explosive performance, especially DiVincenzo's outside three-point explosion helped the Knicks lock up the win, and DiVincenzo got 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 8 of 14 at the end of the game, including 8 of 11 outside three-pointers.
Although Lillard got a lot of free throw opportunities in this game, but Lillard pulled his hips with three points in this game, it can be said that when Lillard's outside three-point slump, this has a big impact on the Bucks, after all, the Bucks need Lillard to help the team open up space on the outside, and the Bucks also need Lillard's three-point to help the team chase points, but unfortunately Lillard did not do such a thing in this game, Lillard got 23 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in 4 of 11 at the end of the game, of which the outside three-point is a bad 1 of 7, but in this game Lillard made 14 of 15 free throws。
Brother Alphabet did his best in this game, and at the end of the game, Brother Alphabet got 28 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists. After this game, the Bucks have suffered 4 consecutive defeats, although the Bucks are still ranked second in the East, but the Magic in the third place in the East is only 1 win behind the Bucks, although some people now think that the Bucks want to fall out of the second place in the East, so as to try to avoid the 76ers and the Heat in the first round of the playoffs, but whether the Bucks really have problems or really want to avoid the 76ers and the Heat, this wave of 4 consecutive defeats is a huge damage to the Bucks, seeing that the playoffs are approaching, the Bucks' losing streak is a huge blow to morale.
