LONDON (AP) — O.J. Mayo scored 22 points, Brandon Knight had 20 points and six steals, and the Milwaukee Bucks routed the New York 95-79 in the NBA Global game, on Thursday night in London, extending the Knicks' franchise-record losing streak to 16.
The return of Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire did little to spark the Knicks, an NBA-worst 5-36.
The Bucks took a 12-0 lead, were up by 24 in the second quarter and never let New York closer than 11 the rest of the way.
Anthony led the Knicks with 25 points. Stoudemire was scoreless in 8 first-half minutes and didn't play after the break. Anthony missed the previous six games because of a knee problem, and Stoudemire had been sidelined since Dec. 25, also with a knee injury.
Valuable bench performer Kendall Marshall left the game in the first half with a sprained knee.
