That was about as good as a half the Knicks have put together all season.

Bucks, the NBA’s No. 2 scoring team, just finally broke 40 points with under 4 minutes left in the half. Lots of players want to play on Christmas, not too many coaches would sign up for two straight day games in New York like the Bucks have. – 12:58 PM

Never forget when Russell Westbrook helped mopped the floor during 2013’s Christmas game against the Knicks
OKC won in a blowout & Russ finished with 14-13-10

You might see Julius Randle and Bobby Portis matched up today. As Randle explained Saturday, the former Knick teammates have been competing against one another since HS. Randle said with a smile that Portis is maybe one of the few guys who isn’t scared to be physical with him: pic.twitter.com/EaEElPgm5a – 12:36 PM

Jalen Brunson has more points than Giannis and Dame combined – but he’s shorter than those two guys so I’m not sure if it counts – 12:34 PM

The Knicks haven’t played a better quarter against the Bucks all season. But Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett will eventually cool off. Can the defense hold up? And can everyone else chip in? Knicks could snap 9-game losing streak to Bucks on Christmas Day. – 12:33 PM

Strong start for the Knicks, who shoot 55% and lead the Bucks 36-27 after one. They were behind pretty much the whole way Saturday in Milwaukee’s victory. – 12:32 PM

Monster block for Brook Lopez. Adrian Griffin on coaching against Lopez, pregame:
“We would say ‘hey, (driving is) not going to work’…they keep doing it over and over. They say that’s the definition of insanity….he should be in the conversation for DPOY.” – 12:23 PM

Tom Thibodeau said on Saturday that RJ Barrett just needed to get a few easy baskets/looks in transition to get going on offense again. That’s been the case early on today in Knicks-Bucks. Barrett has a put-back, a fast-break dunk & 2 threes in the first six minutes vs. MIL. – 12:17 PM

Crazy stat considering the Knicks have been around since the 1940s.
With a win today, Tom Thibodeau will tie Hubie Brown for the fifth-winningest coach in franchise history.
The top 4?
