Milwaukee, Wi – Bucks returned home to the Fiserv Forum to face New York Knicks for the second time in 3 days. The Bucks came out sporting the “Earned Edition” Jerseys for the second of 5 times they plan to wear them this season. 

The Knicks came out strong in the 1st quarter to take a strong lead. But a 18-2 run in the second quarter left the Bucks up 5 at the half. Brook Lopez hit a couple 3’s and powered home a Giannis like Dunk as his arm went sweeping around his body before bringing to back and slamming it over the Knicks defender. Middleton had 16 at the half on 7-11 shooting to lead the Bucks in the first half as he bounced back from a shooting slump and started to get back on track.

Middleton added 9 more points in the 3rd quarter to finish with 25 points. And 31 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks from the Greek Freak helped lift the Bucks to a 112-96 victory over the Knicks. D.J. Wilson in 21 mins scored 10 points to go along with 14 rebounds and 2 blocks. Wilson continues to make the most of his mins with Ersan out with injury.

Brooklyn comes into town Saturday to face the Bucks in the 2nd of a 6 game home stand. Gametime is 4pm from the Fiserv Forum.

Milwaukee Bucks played on Christmas Day for the first time since 1977. The Bucks were in New York to face the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Giannis Antetokounmpo showed up big in front on the big stage. The Greek Freak scored 30 points to go along with 14 rebounds and 4 steals. Giannis was the first Bucks player to score 30 points on Christmas Day since Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

Khris Middleton fell right on his face shooting 2-12 from the field and only producing 6 points in 29 mins of play. Middleton continues to be inconsistant on and not do himself justice if he hopes to get a big contract on the open market and push the Bucks towards a max deal.

Bucks now return home from Milwaukee to face the New York Knicks again on Thursday from the Fiserv Forum at 7pm.
