This time, it wasn’t a superstar who did the Knicks in. This time, it was a member of the supporting cast who drove the stake through their heart.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had just fouled out for the Bucks and the Knicks had pulled even, making the Garden crowd believe a win over a quality team was finally imminent Wednesday night. Except Grayson Allen buried a 3-pointer from the left wing with 30.9 seconds remaining and RJ Barrett, enjoying one of his best games of the season, missed on the other end.
It added up to another home loss, 109-103 to the Bucks, the Knicks’ sixth defeat in seven games at the Garden. Milwaukee, even with The Greek Freak on the bench for the final minute, found a way as the Knicks’ issues continued. The Knicks missed seven of their 20 free-throw attempts, including four crucial ones down the stretch.
It capped another heartbreaking home loss, another defeat in which the Knicks played well. but couldn’t finish. They have dropped their last three games at the Garden by a combined 13 points.
