MILWAUKEE — Michael Carter-Williams had 20 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks used a 21-4 run in the third quarter to pull away from the New York Knicks for a 106-91 win on Saturday night, December 5th.
Jabari Parker added 17 points, including a dunk and a jumper during the decisive spurt that pushed Milwaukee to a double-digit lead.
The Knicks trailed by 21 with 7:04 left in the third quarter when coach Derek Fisher replaced his entire starting five following a technical foul on Jose Calderon at the end of the run. Frustrated starters argued with the officials.
The fresh lineup settled the team, though New York could get no closer than nine the rest of the night.
