Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in his return after missing one game with a sprained left foot. Kyle Kuzma and Ryan Rollins added 20 points apiece, with Rollins getting a career high.
New York won all three of its regular-season meetings with the Bucks and could see them again in the first round of the playoffs. In the two matchups at New York, the Knicks rolled to a 116-94 victory on Nov. 8 and a 140-106 triumph on Jan. 12. New York is third and Milwaukee sixth in the East.
