NBA 2018-19, Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks: 3 talking points as Giannis Antetokounmpo leads his team to victory

#2. The 3-point shooting of both the teams

Milwaukee Bucks v New York Knicks

Both the teams were mediocre from the 3-point line. For the New York Knicks this is not a big deal, because they’re not going to the playoffs anyway, so no worries. But for the Bucks this could be a cause for concern if they are serious about their championship aspirations.

Giannis Antetokounmpo will need shooters who he can rely on when teams will double team him come the playoffs. That's particularly so against teams like Boston and Toronto who have elite defenses and can easily choke the Bucks if they don’t figure out this problem of theirs.

Throughout the season the Bucks have been pretty mediocre from the 3-point line, and they are ranked 17th in the league for 3-point efficiency. They need to find the right balance and right mixture of players who would blend well within their system and be ready for the playoffs.
