Tom Thibodeau’s revamped squad had dropped four of its first seven after consecutive road losses earlier in the week against the Rockets and the Hawks.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers stated before Friday’s game that he’s more focused on his own team’s woeful record than worrying about the Knicks’ supposed growing pains so far with two new starters.
“I know the Knicks’ coach and I know that he’s going to get it all together. I’m sure of that,” Rivers said before the game. “Tom’s a phenomenal coach. And they made changes. They made changes to their core guys. Towns obviously is more offensive-minded than last year’s centers, and the four-time All-Star is averaging 24.3 while shooting 55.6 percent from 3-point range in his first eight appearances.
