The New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 117-85 on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, at Madison Square Garden — their fourth straight win — and Karl-Anthony Towns wrote his name into franchise history in the process.
Towns had 21 points and 16 rebounds — his 10th straight double-double to open the season, making him only the third Knick ever to do it, joining Walt Bellamy and Willis Reed. He has now recorded a double-double in 14 straight regular-season games dating back to 1 April.
Brunson and Anunoby pile on
Jalen Brunson scored 23 points (7 of 18 from the field, 8 of 8 from the free-throw line) in under 28 minutes, and OG Anunoby added 19 points with five three-pointers.
The defending NBA champion Knicks outscored Milwaukee 32-13 in both the second and fourth quarters, and out-rebounded the Bucks 59-32, including 18 offensive boards. It was a complete performance at both ends — and a statement from a team that has now won six of seven since an 0-3 start. New York improved to 6-4.
Bucks’ worst start in more than 30 years
Milwaukee fell to 1-10 with a seventh straight defeat — the Bucks’ worst start since the 1993-94 season. Jaime Jaquez Jr. led Milwaukee with 16 points, but the Bucks had no answer for the Knicks’ size and depth on the glass.
The Knicks host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, 11 November, while the Bucks host the Los Angeles Lakers the same night. For New York, the win capped a remarkable turnaround from the season’s opening week — and for Towns, the history books now list him alongside two of the greatest big men ever to wear the jersey.
It has been a week of huge NBA nights across the league — from Cooper Flagg’s 43-point game for Dallas to the Warriors’ 138-87 demolition of the Pelicans — but few performances will mean as much to Knicks fans as Towns joining Bellamy and Reed.
