    The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a lopsided loss at the hands of the New York Knicks on Friday night, falling by a final score of 116-94.

    Milwaukee has continued to struggle to start its first full season under head coach Doc Rivers, going 2-7 following the loss to New York.

    The Knicks took an early 17-6 lead and never looked back, holding a 66-47 lead entering halftime. New York extended its lead in the second half, sealing the victory.

    Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, shooting 11-21 from the field. Damian Lillard struggled with his jumper, making just six of his 15 attempts.

    Aside from Lillard and Antetokounmpo, no other member of Milwaukee’s lineup scored more than 10 points.

    Fans questioned Rivers’ job security after the loss.

    The fact that Doc Rivers keeps letting this go on is crazy….

    Jason Smith @how about cool?

    A week ago I said Doc Rivers might not make it to Christmas as Bucks HC. Now I really may not make it to Thanksgiving.

    Doc Rivers has been an absolute disaster with the Bucks. At what point are NBA teams going to realize that this guy just isn’t a good coach!?

    Stefan Bondy @NBA

    I’m still flabbergasted by Doc Rivers’ decision to defend Karl Anthony Towns with Brook Lopez, who is the prototypical center for drop coverage. I’m not going to let this go.

    Doc Rivers is the problem that has to go.

    Serious question, how @DocRivers Do you still have work with that list?

    For the Knicks, Karl-Anthony Towns recorded his seventh consecutive double-double. He grabbed 11 rebounds in addition to his 32 points, scoring 27 in the first half alone. Towns shot 12-20 from the field, hitting four 3-pointers.

    Since Rivers was hired midway through the 2023-24 season, he has a 19-26 record with Milwaukee.
