This game didn’t exactly have the hype factor like most games. I mean people would’ve only watched this game because it was an early one.
But it’s an NBA game nonetheless. Milwaukee are done this season but in New York’s case, they’re showing some life and the Playoff dream for the Knicks (as crazy as it sounds) is still alive.
In this game Melo did what he does best, score. 23 points for the superstar. Props to Rookie Tim Hardaway Jr with 20 points.
On Milwaukee’s side nobody touched 20 points. The closest was Brandon Knight with 15.
So with that win and the winning streak now up to 6, NY are just 3 games behind the 8th seed (Atlanta). If they make the Playoffs, the sadness will continue for another four games. (See what I did there?)
