Brook Lopez was the headline performer in this contest, guiding an offense in which all five starters reached double figures. He finished with 26 points on 12-for-17 shooting from the field. He also had seven rebounds, three assists, and three blocked shots.

Gary Trent Jr. added 16 points and four boards, while Taurean Prince chipped in with 15 points and five assists.

Despite trailing through the first 31 minutes of the game, the Bucks went up by an 88-83 margin in the third quarter. However, the Nuggets quickly responded with a 13-1 burst, giving the home team a seven-point lead it would not relinquish down the stretch.

Following a pair of wins against the Washington Wizards (122-103) and the Dallas Mavericks (128-113), the Knicks dropped a 126-113 decision to the LA Clippers on Wednesday night.

Karl-Anthony Towns set the tone for New York, scoring 34 points, pulling down 14 rebounds, and handing out four assists.

OG Anunoby finished with 28 points, five rebounds, and three assists, connecting on three of his five attempts from beyond the arc. Mikal Bridges contributed 17 points and nine rebounds.

New York held an 81-78 advantage in the third quarter before James Harden went on a personal 11-0 run to power the Clippers to a 16-3 surge to end the period. This crucial stretch enabled LA to take a double-digit lead into the final frame.
