Bucks get 28 from Monroe in loss to Knicks

Greg Monroe has been one of the Bucks most consistent performers of the season, but the big man's 28 points and 10 rebounds weren't enough in a 100-88 loss to the Knicks in New York Sunday night.

Khris Middleton added 20 points, Jabari Parker 14 for the Bucks, who were tied with New York after the first period. But Milwaukee managed just 36 points combined over the next two quarters. A Carmelo Anthony layup in the second quarter gave the Knicks a lead they would not relinquish.

The Bucks are approaching the halfway point of their season with 15 total wins, five on the road.
