GAME PREVIEW BUCKS VS. KNICKS


GAME PREVIEW  BUCKS VS. KNICKS
UP NEXT

TEAMS: Milwaukee Bucks (5-8) vs. New York Knicks (6-5).

WHEN: 7:30 tonight.

WHERE: Bradley Center.

BROADCASTS: TV - None. Radio - AM-620.

About the Knicks: Coach Mike D'Antoni came over from Phoenix, so it's no surprise the Knicks are launching three-pointers without fear. New York leads the league with 313 three-point attempts and has connected at a 38% clip, ranking 10th in three-point accuracy. The Knicks are coming off a 110-101 loss to Boston on Tuesday, a game Kevin Garnett sat out under suspension from the incident with Andrew Bogut. Knicks forward Zach Randolph ranks second in the league with eight double-doubles.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Nate Robinson, Knicks

The 5-foot-9 guard isn't starting but is playing a lot off the bench and making a major contribution. He had 14 points and four assists in 31 minutes against Boston on Tuesday. When the Knicks set a franchise record with 19 three-pointers (in 34 attempts) against Memphis on Nov. 12, Robinson led the way with a 5-for-5 night from beyond the arc and scored 21 points.
