Knicks Vs Bucks: player grades and stat lines
Rollins logged 32 minutes with 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 turnovers and a 5/9 FG line, finishing with a -30 plus-minus. Rollins had some decent moments in the first half, but he was held scoreless in the second half on 0/2 shooting and turned the ball over three times.
KPJ finished with 27 minutes, 11 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 turnovers and a 4/12 FG line, ending at -16. It was one of the quieter double-doubles of the season; the Knicks’ defense forced KPJ into a more pass-first role, where he made the right reads but couldn’t get going for himself.
Green played 30 minutes, scoring 7 points with 2 rebounds and a 2/6 3P line and finished -17. The Knicks have long been a bad matchup for Green since he became a regular rotation player: he’s averaging 6. 8 PPG in 10 career games against the Knicks, the fifth-fewest against Eastern Conference opponents, and last night was no different because the size of New York’s wings neutralized his ability to get good shots off.
Kuzma posted 27 minutes, 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists on 6/11 FG and 4/7 3P, finishing -16. Kuzma continues to feel it from three-point range. Doc wasn’t happy with all of his attempts, but Kuzma’s shooting helped, and he did a solid job of guarding Brunson once the switch was made, helping to limit Brunson to two points in the second half on 1/4 shooting.
Turner recorded 25 minutes, 19 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and a 4/7 3P line, finishing -20. Turner’s bounce-back performance was wasted by the blowout; he did a strong job limiting Karl-Anthony Towns’ offense when Doc opted to throw Kuzma (who was originally guarding Towns) onto Brunson.
Portis played 17 minutes and produced 14 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals on 5/8 FG, 2/3 3P and 2/3 FT, finishing -10. Portis provided consistent offense off the bench—an efficient game for BP on offense—but the report noted a few defensive lapses when he allowed a shooter to get wide open.
Thomas logged 17 minutes with 7 points, 2 rebounds on 2/9 FG and 3/3 FT, finishing -17. After an incredible start to his Bucks tenure, the game showed the other side of Thomas’ play: he forced several bad shots and was a non-factor on defense, which makes it hard to keep him on the floor.
Sims appeared for 23 minutes and managed 2 points and 4 rebounds on 1/1 FG, finishing -21. In a game where the Bucks needed more from him on the glass, Sims failed to deliver; Jericho really struggled against the taller Knicks bigs of Towns and Robinson.
One line in the box score lists 12 minutes, 0 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 0/2 FG with a -11 plus-minus for a player whose name is unclear in the provided context.
Turnovers and three-point accuracy decided the game
Milwaukee’s 16 turnovers and New York’s 21/41 three-point shooting combined to create the blowout. That mix of efficient perimeter shooting and miscues on offense kept the Knicks comfortably in front through the second half.
