Pat Connaughton hit a career-high seven 3-pointers Wednesday night, including three in a span of 95 seconds late in the fourth quarter to fuel a game-ending run as the visiting Milwaukee Bucks held off a furious comeback by the New York Knicks to earn a 112–100 win.
The Bucks, who squandered a 21-point lead in a 113–98 loss to the Knicks on Friday, led by 24 points in the third quarter Wednesday before New York rallied. Fueled almost entirely by reserves, the Knicks mounted a 40–16 run to tie the game at 89–89 on a 3-pointer by Immanuel Quickley with 5:06 left in the fourth quarter.
