MILWAUKEE — – Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> had 37 points, eight rebounds and seven assists as the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> erased a 12-point halftime deficit and beat the New York Knicks<\/a> 121-111 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee’s Ryan Rollins<\/a> added a career-high 25 points. New York’s Jalen Brunson<\/a> scored 36 points but hurt himself midway through the fourth quarter in a play that sparked Milwaukee’s winning rally.<\/p>\n

Brunson appeared to injure his leg initially while scrambling for a loose ball in the fourth quarter. He remained on the floor but was moving gingerly. Then, he was dribbling behind the 3-point line near Milwaukee’s bench when he fell backward in clear pain and lost the ball.<\/p>\n

As Brunson continued to sit on the floor, Antetokounmpo got a steal and dunked on the other end to tie the game at 103-all with 6:13 remaining and start an 8-0 run.<\/p>\n

Brunson stayed in the game after a timeout, but the Knicks couldn’t slow Milwaukee’s momentum. Antetokounmpo put Milwaukee ahead for good by converting a running layup with 5:31 left.<\/p>\n

Mikal Bridges<\/a> had 24 points for New York.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee, which trailed 71-59 at halftime, snapped New York’s five-game winning streak in this series. Milwaukee had won nine straight from the Knicks immediately before this stretch, which began on Christmas Day of 2023.<\/p>\n

The Bucks were coming off a 118-113 loss<\/a> at Cleveland in which they were missing Kevin Porter Jr<\/a>. (sprained left ankle), Kyle Kuzma<\/a> (sprained left ankle) and Cole Anthony<\/a> (illness). Anthony and Kuzma returned to action Tuesday, but Porter missed a third straight game.<\/p>\n

Bucks coach Doc Rivers said before the game that Porter’s “going to be out a bit” and that it’s too early to tell when the guard might return.<\/p>\n

“We’re not going to rush him because we don’t want this to become chronic,” Rivers said. “It was a bad turn, so we just want to be patient.”<\/p>\n

New York remained without Mitchell Robinson<\/a>, who hasn’t played yet this season as the Knicks continue to monitor his injured left ankle.<\/p>\n
