Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is frustrated. He wants to see his team play with more intensity. The two-time MVP took issue with Milwaukee’s effort after it lost 116-94 to the New York Knicks to drop to 2-7 on the season. Antetokounmpo says, “We’ve got to do a better job competing. We didn’t compete at all.

Milwaukee surrendered four first-half 3-pointers to Knicks 7-footer Karl-Anthony Towns, including New York’s first two baskets of the game. The Bucks allowed layups and dunks in transition — New York held a 7-1 steals advantage and outscored Milwaukee 21-8 in transition. The Knicks also held a 48-41 rebounding advantage.“I think everybody’s frustrated,” Lillard said.
Antetokounmpo was especially frustrated since the Bucks had played better of late. The Bucks dropped a pair of close games against the undefeated Cavaliers — including a two-point loss in Cleveland on Monday when Antetokounmpo did not dress — then posted a 23-point victory against Utah on Thursday night.“Did we compete the previous game? Yes. Did we compete the two previous games, Cavs and Cavs? Yes. Did we compete today? No,” Antetokounmpo said. “We played great last night.
