The New York Knicks have only themselves to blame but to their credit they didn't quit. With the Milwaukee Bucks looking like the late 70s and early 80s "Nellie" Bucks with the candy-stripe jerseys playing at the M.E.C.C.A. they came out like world beaters giving it to Knicks Tape going for the 1st round K.O.!

"Fear the Deer" up 66-49 behind O.J., Mayo's 11 points and Jabari Parker's 10 points was riding high.  The Bucks also led 95-80 after three then the Knicks hit the phone booth. A Bucks Ersan Ilyasova lay-up at the beginning of frame four has the Bucks up 97-80. The Knicks though slowly chipped at that lead behind Amare Stoudamire the artist formerly known as S.T.A.T. (14 pts) and Bloodline Tim Hardaway Jr. (24 pts).

The Knicks turned a 97-80 deficit into a 110-106 Bucks lead with just under a minute remaining. From there it was the Knicks closing to 113-111 behind a 'Melo (26 pts 6 rebs) lay-up. The Bucks Jerryd Bayless though sinks six free throws in the last 15 seconds for a Bucks 117-113 win!

Iman Shumpert had 21 points and grabbed eight boards for the Knicks who fall to 3-9. The Bucks at 6-5 had all five starters in double-figures with Turkey's Ersan Ilyasova leading that attack from the bench with 20 points.

Bucks shoot those magic numbers 50% FG 50% 3pt FG and 80% FT...
