Alec Burks scored seven of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:19 left as the visiting New York Knicks held off the severely shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks 102-96 Saturday night.
After a timeout, rookie Immanuel Quickley connected with Burks. Burks moved to the right side opposite Milwaukee's bench, and before the Bucks could rotate over, he hit a clean 3-pointer for a 99-96 lead. The Knicks grabbed the rebound and after an unsuccessful challenge of a foul call to Brook Lopez, Burks hit the technical free throw for a 100-96 lead with eight seconds left.
Barrett also scored 21 points for the Knicks, who shot 43 percent, hit 16 3-pointers and had a season-high 28 assists while struggling with Milwaukee's zone at times. Quickley added 13, as did Derrick Rose, who returned after missing 10 games due to COVID-19.
