Knicks thrash woeful Bucks en route to fourth consecutive win

The Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 117-85 at Madison Square Garden, extending their winning streak to four games after starting the season 0-3. Their defence and rebounding overwhelmed Milwaukee, helping New York move to 6-4 while the Bucks fell to 1-10.

Jalen Brunson scored 23 points and Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points and 16 rebounds, recording his 10th consecutive double-double to start the season, one short of the franchise record. New York led by 24 at half-time and finished with 70 rebounds; its past five opponents have each scored fewer than 100 points. Tyler Herro missed the game with a knee injury, while the Knicks were without Josh Hart, and New York were due to host Cleveland the following night.
