NEW YORK — The lead never felt safe.
The Knicks built a 17-point lead that came crashing down in their 111-107 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. They had won four in a row and 11 of their last 16 before the Bucks stopped at Madison Square Garden.
The comeback was inevitable — because while the Knicks were able to use their size to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo from running rampant, they frequently surrendered open corner three attempts from capable Milwaukee shooters.
