In the next round of the in-season playoffs, which will take place on Thursday night, the Bucks will face off against the Indiana Pacers.

The Milwaukee Bucks are on their way to Las Vegas after turning in one of the most impressive scoring performances of the season.

In the quarterfinals of the NBA’s in-season competition, which took place on Tuesday night, the Bucks defeated the New York Knicks by a score of 146 against 122. The victory guarantees that they will advance to the semifinals, which will take place on Thursday in Las Vegas and will be played against the Indianapolis Pacers. During the victory, the Bucks hit an impressive 23-of-38 from beyond the arc, paced by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 35 points. This was a spectacular performance for the squad.

The Knicks not only scored a season-high number of points as a team, but they also scored at least 37 points in each of the first three quarters. This is the first time that this has happened to the Knicks since Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game in 1962.

To put it simply, the first half was a full-on gunfight. After the two teams scored 147 points between them, the Bucks went into halftime with a three-point advantage over their opponent. Additionally, Milwaukee hit an incredible 12 of 17 from beyond the arc throughout the first two quarters of the game, and they outscored the Knicks by a margin of 27 points from outside the arc. In addition, the two teams came together to achieve the highest field goal percentage in the first half of any game played thus far this season.

Julius Randle was the one who kept the Knicks in the game, despite the fact that Milwaukee was shooting really well. In the first half, Julius Randle made a perfect nine-of-nine from the field, and he scored 25 of his 41 points in the first two halves of the game. It was impossible for him to fail.

On the other hand, the Knicks were unable to maintain that. In the third quarter, the Bucks regained control of the game and began the period with a 16-6 run that was capped off by a massive out-of-bounds lob to Antetokounmpo on the other end of the court.Additionally, Randle failed to make his first basket during that time, which resulted in the end of New York’s run. In the third quarter, the Bucks scored 13 more points than the Knicks, which allowed them to take a 16-point lead. After that, they cruised to a victory by 24 points.

During the victory for Milwaukee, Antetokounmpo was prevented from achieving a triple-double while he was on the verge of doing so. Through the end of the game, he finished with 35 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds, while shooting 15 of 22 from the field. Malik Beasley contributed 18 points, and Damian Lillard contributed 28 points and seven rebounds to the team’s total. The Bucks had a field goal percentage of 60.4% and a three-point field goal percentage of 60.5%.

The Knicks concluded the game with Randle scoring 41 points, grabbing six rebounds, and dishing out five assists. Randle also shot 14 of 19 from the field. R.J. Barrett wrapped up the game with 23 points and eight rebounds, while Jalen Brunson contributed 24 points to the total. From beyond the arc, the Knicks only made seven of twenty-one shots.

It is now scheduled that the Bucks will face the Pacers in the semifinals of the in-season tournament, which will take place on Thursday. On Monday night, the Pacers defeated the Boston Celtics in their quarterfinals clash by a score of 122-112. This victory was made possible by Tyrese Haliburton, who played his first triple-double of his career.
