Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks pulled off a 121-111 win over the New York Knicks, marking their third victory in four games to start the 2025-26 season. Antetokounmpo led the way with a dominant performance of 37 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What made the game especially meaningful was Milwaukee\u2019s history with the Knicks: New York swept the Bucks 3-0 last season, winning each game by an average margin of 22 points. Antetokounmpo said the loss was on his mind heading into the matchup: \u201cThey were way better than us last year\u2026 I don\u2019t forget things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the stat line and the victory, the win served as a signal-setter for the Bucks\u2019 broader intentions. Antetokounmpo emphasized that he and the team were locked in on the moment and focused on what\u2019s ahead, steering clear of trade speculation and asserting their desire to move past recent postseason disappointments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
