Bucks-Knicks Preview

Posted Apr 04 2013 1:27PM

With the playoffs quickly approaching, Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks are looking like a force to be reckoned with.

The slumping Milwaukee Bucks, in contrast, appear to be falling apart at a less than opportune time.

Enjoying their longest winning streak in 19 seasons, the Knicks try for a three-game season sweep of the visiting Bucks on Friday night.

One night after scoring a career high-tying 50 points in a 102-90 win at Miami, Anthony had 40 as New York (48-26) posted its 10th consecutive victory, 95-82 at Atlanta on Wednesday.

"The rhythm was there and I wanted to see if I still had it going," said Anthony, who has shot 35 for 53 (66.0 percent) over the last two games. "It was just one of those nights once again."

With most of the defensive attention focused on Anthony, J.R. Smith made 8 of 15 shots and finished with 19 points off the bench. Raymond Felton added 14.

"Melo is smart enough to know that if he's doubled, he'll sacrifice the ball," coach Mike Woodson said. "And we've got enough shooters around him that are making big shots. That opens it up for him even more. And when he gets going like he did tonight, they're not going to leave him alone very often."

Currently in second place in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have outscored opponents by an average of 12.5 points during their run - their longest since putting together 15 consecutive victories in 1993-94.

New York's recent surge shouldn't come as much of a surprise to Milwaukee (36-38), which has lost both its games this season to the Knicks by double digits and four straight overall. Anthony averaged 27.0 points in the two wins - just below his 28.1 season average - but shot 40 percent (16 for 40).

Milwaukee's woes continued during Wednesday's 107-98 loss to last-place Minnesota, its ninth defeat in 13 games. Ersan Ilyasova had 29 points and 12 rebounds, but the Bucks allowed the Timberwolves to shoot 52.4 percent.

Milwaukee, which was outscored 58-38 in the paint and 15-5 in fast-break points, also committed 20 turnovers - its highest total in nearly three months.

"I haven't seen us play that sloppy in a while. It's a tough one for us to swallow right now at this point in the season," coach Jim Boylan said.

"We've got to stop throwing one-handed, cross-court passes and get back to the fundamentals of the game. Pass with two hands. See your target and deliver the ball. Have nice, simple easy plays."

Despite their recent struggles, the eighth-place Bucks can clinch their first playoff berth since 2009-10 with a win Friday and a Philadelphia loss to Atlanta. While they may be hoping to avoid facing league-leading Miami in the first round, a potential matchup against New York likely wouldn't prove much easier at this point.

"I don't talk about that at all. I don't even think about it. I just want to go to the playoffs," Larry Sanders said. "We're not afraid of anybody. You just have to put your shoes on and play 48 minutes."

Sanders, second in the NBA with 2.9 blocks per game, is averaging 16.3 points over his last six contests - 6.4 more than his season mark. Brandon Jennings, meanwhile, has averaged just 10.9 points on 30.3 percent shooting in his last seven games, well off his season mark of 17.6 per game.

The Bucks have dropped a season worst-tying four straight on the road by an average of 13.2 points.

Anthony scores 41, Knicks win 11th straight

NEW YORK (AP) Carmelo Anthony gave fans his own reason to celebrate 40.

On the night the Knicks honored the 40th anniversary of their last championship team, Anthony finished with 41 points, tying a franchise record with this third straight 40-point game, and New York beat the Milwaukee Bucks 101-83 for its 11th straight victory.

Anthony, who had 50 points and 40 in his previous two games, equaled Bernard King's 1984-85 mark. New York matched the third-longest winning streak in franchise history.

Anthony increased his scoring average to 28.3 points, right behind league leader Kevin Durant's 28.4 heading into their matchup Sunday at Oklahoma City.

"It's April, I guess. It's April. It's time to go," Anthony said.

J.R. Smith added 30 points for the Knicks, who used a huge third quarter to turn around the game after a lackluster first half on the night they saluted their 1972-73 NBA championship team with a ceremony at halftime.

"That's the last team here to win a championship and that's what we want to accomplish," said Tyson Chandler. "It's a brotherhood. We've got to get into that brotherhood. We want to follow in their footsteps."

Brandon Jennings scored 25 points for the Bucks and JJ Redick had 18.

After scoring just 36 points in the first half and trailing by nine, the Knicks poured in 42 in the third quarter, with Anthony scoring 18 and Jason Kidd ending the period with a 59-foot heave at the buzzer.

"That was a big third quarter for us," Kidd said. "Everything was going in. When you have the legends in the house, you want to play well."

Milwaukee led 57-48 after Jennings hit a jumper with 8:46 left in the third before the Knicks scored the next 16 points.

Anthony started the streak with a layup, free throw and short jumper. Smith followed with a 3-pointer and Anthony's long jumper with 6:25 to go gave New York a 58-57 lead, its first since late in the first quarter.

The streak continued with a 3-pointer from Smith and concluded with Anthony's 3-pointer with 4:47 left to put the Knicks ahead 64-57.

"When I first got to Denver, we were kind of a high-scoring duo," Smith said. "But other than that, this is definitely the best its felt, us jelling together."

The Bucks finally scored on Jennings' layup with 4:26 left, but Raymond Felton hit a 3-pointer and Smith followed with two more as the Knicks ran off to a 78-66 lead after three quarters.

"We just turned it up another gear," Felton said. "Melo got hot. J.R. got hot. I got hot. Everybody was really involved. When the game is like that, it's really fun."

The Bucks got as close as 87-81 on Redick's 3-pointer with 4:39 remaining in the game, but the Knicks scored the next 11 points and ended the game on a 14-2 run.

"They got it going in the third," Bucks coach Jim Boylan said. "I thought our defense was good in the first two quarters. It was a two-man show out there, Carmelo and J.R.

"You know Carmelo's been on a tear and obviously continued again tonight. So it's tough. We were battling down there but he started making some shots, they got out in transition a few times and we just couldn't seem to slow them down."

Milwaukee took its biggest lead of the game, 44-34, on Jennings' two free throws with 1:05 remaining in the second quarter.

The Knicks' 36 points at the half were the team's lowest since scoring 36 against the Bulls on Jan. 11.

"We weren't playing hard. The energy wasn't there," Felton said. "You don't want to lose the streak, especially not at home. You don't want to lose in front of the legends."

The teams were tied at 19 after the first quarter, the Knicks' lowest total in the opening period since scoring 18 against Indiana on Feb. 20.

Felton finished with nine points for the Knicks, while Anthony (14), Chandler (10) and Smith (10) each recorded double-digit rebounds.

Monta Ellis added 11 points for the Bucks and Larry Sanders had 12 rebounds.

"Just to know that (1972-73) team's history and know what they were able to do and to see most of the guys come back here was an inspiration," Anthony said. "They're fans of ours just as much as we're fans of theirs."

And New Yorkers now have reason to be fans of both.

Notes: The Knicks' last loss was a 93-80 defeat to the Clippers on March 17 in Los Angeles. ... The Knicks have won five straight over the Bucks, including all three games this season. The Knicks' last season sweep in the series was during the 1999-00 season. Milwaukee's last win in the series came on March 9, 2012.

Notebook: Knicks 101, Bucks 83

Dan Kelly, for NBA.com
Posted Fri Apr 05, 2013 11:22 PM - Updated Fri Apr 05, 2013 11:22 PM

THE FACTS: The New York Knicks used a huge third quarter after an inspiring halftime ceremony for the '73 championship team to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 101-83 Friday night for their eleventh consecutive win.

Carmelo Anthony scored 41 points, and has now scored 40 or more in each of his last three games -- only the second Knicks (49-26) player to ever do the deed (Bernard King).

J.R. Smith finished with 30 points and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes. Brandon Jennings led the Bucks (36-39) with 25 points. J.J. Redick shot 5-for-7 from beyond the 3-point line and finished with 18 points.

QUOTABLE: "[This Knicks squad is] a good team. They've come a long way in the last two and a half weeks. They've put together some games and they're starting to make a run. This is the right time of the year to get healthy. They've got some injuries but they've kind of survived them. And there's some hope in this town that maybe they're going to win this year."

--Phil Jackson, on hand for the honoring of the 1973 Knicks championship team

THE STAT: The Knicks outscored the Bucks 42-21 in the 3rd quarter.

TURNING POINT: With 5 minutes to go in the third quarter, a Smith 3 was followed by a quick steal that led to an Anthony jumper. That gave the Knicks a lead they would never relinquish.

QUOTABLE II: "[Anthony] is focused. He is really in the zone. There is not much defenders can do the way he is scoring the ball. J.R. and Carmelo are taking turns. They are doing it at the perfect time. The way they are moving the ball, they are getting shots, we all know where the ball is going to be."

--Iman Shumpert

HOT: Anthony scored 41 on 17-for-28 shooting from the floor. He's now scored 131 points in his last three games.

NOT: Monta Ellis is only a 27.7 percent 3-point shooter and has somehow managed to attempt almost 300 3s this season. Tonight he went 1-for-6 from beyond the arc.

QUOTABLE III: "Melo is playing out of his mind ... it is unreal ... it's 100 something [points] in three games."

--Brandon Jennings

NOTABLE: Jason Kidd hit a high arching three-quarter-court shot to end the third quarter.

QUOTABLE IV: "[Anthony] is trying to do a little bit of everything. That is what the great ones do. They figure out a way to beat you. He refused tonight ... in the fourth quarter really to let us lose. He is special. That is all I can say."

-Knicks coach Mike Woodson
