[January 10, 2023]
Jrue Holiday snapped out of a game-long slump by scoring 10 points
in the final 2:30 on Monday night for the visiting Milwaukee Bucks,
who overcame a 17-point, third-quarter deficit to edge the New York
Knicks 111-107.
Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a double-double (22 points, 10
rebounds), while Brook Lopez had 17 points, including the corner
3-pointer with 1:46 left that put the Bucks ahead for good at
100-97.
Joe Ingles had 17 points off the bench and Holiday finished with 15
points for the Bucks, who have won three of four. Grayson Allen and
Pat Connaughton scored 11 points apiece, while reserve Bobby Portis
added 10.
Jalen Brunson scored a career-high 44 points for the Knicks, whose
four-game winning streak was snapped. Julius Randle had 25 points
and 16 rebounds, and Immanuel Quickley finished with 23 points.

Each team led by as many as eight in the first half before Quickley
scored five points to begin a 13-2 run that gave the Knicks their
biggest lead at 70-53 with 5:00 left in the third. The Bucks
responded by ending the quarter with a 20-8 run in which Ingles
scored eight points.
Obi Toppin opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer for the Knicks
before Lopez, Allen and Ingles hit treys on consecutive trips to put
the Bucks ahead for the first time since the opening minutes of the
second quarter. There were eight more lead changes and three ties
the rest of the way, during which the teams were never separated by
more than four points.

Holiday, who missed six of his first seven shots from beyond the
arc, hit a 3-pointer to put the Bucks up 97-96 with 2:23 left. After
Randle split a pair of free throws, Lopez hit his tiebreaking
3-pointer.
Brunson responded with a turnaround jumper, after which Holiday
drained a stepback 3-pointer with 47.4 seconds left to give
Milwaukee a 103-99 lead. Brunson hit a driving layup out of a
timeout, but Holiday drained a long fallaway jumper.
Brunson then sank a pullup before the Bucks eluded the Knicks'
attempts to foul on a possession that ended with a Lopez dunk.
Brunson was fouled by Antetokounmpo and converted both free throws
with 9.4 seconds left. Holiday then hit two free throws and Brunson
drove the length of the court for a layup before Allen iced the game
with a pair of free throws with 0.6 seconds remaining.
