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

#1. Great rebounding performance from both the teams

Milwaukee Bucks v New York Knicks

Rebounding is one of the major stats in the NBA; the team that dominates the boards almost always wins. And this match was a rebounding exhibition, as both the teams were dominant on the boards and put on an impressive rebounding showcase.

It was no surprise seeing the Bucks have a good rebounding night as they’re the rebounding leaders league-wise, but for the Knicks to put in such great efforts to grab the boards is fairly surprising and also good for the game of basketball.

The Bucks have been gathering 49.9 rebounds per contest, which is spectacular and one of the biggest reasons for their dominance so far. They have multiple players who throw their efforts and bodies to grab rebounds, be it offensive or defensive.

In their next match the Milwaukee Bucks will face the New York Knicks again, but this time in their own backyard. They will hope to repeat this kind of performance and get another win over the struggling Knicks.
