New York’s win over Milwaukee marked its first victory since it defeated the Orlando Magic 106-95 on Dec. 22. More than two weeks removed from the last game that didn’t end in defeat, Knicks fans were inevitably frustrated and searching for answers.
It didn’t look as though the Knicks were going to win, but resilience proved to be stronger than pessimism during this sensational win.
New York stepped up on both ends of the floor during the fourth quarter of the five-point win. It outscored Milwaukee 33-15 and proved to the clutch after it captured its first lead of the fourth quarter with less than a minute on the clock.
The question is: who stepped up to help the New York Knicks erase the 14-point deficit and end the six-game losing streak?
