Knicks vs Bucks Matchup and Head to Head

Rivalry History

The Knicks and Bucks matchup traces its roots to the Bucks' inaugural 1968-69 NBA season, when the Knicks dominated early regular season contests. On November 1, 1969, New York secured a 112-108 victory, part of a perfect 7-0 streak against the expansion Bucks that year. These early triumphs coincided with the Knicks' ascent, culminating in their 1970 NBA championship, whilst the Bucks countered with their own 1971 title led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The rivalry featured limited but notable postseason clashes, with the teams meeting in the playoffs 4 times through the 2025-26 season, the Knicks winning 0. Regular season highlights include the thrilling 136-134 overtime win on December 1, 2018, and a dominant 140-106 rout on January 12, 2025, where Jalen Brunson scored 44 points. On November 8, 2024, the Knicks secured a 116-94 victory at home. These moments underscore intermittent intensity despite cross-conference scheduling.

Spanning over five decades, the series reflects contrasting eras: the Knicks' 1970s dynasty versus the Bucks' 1971 and 2021 triumphs, with past dominance adding modern flavour to this historically lopsided regular season ledger.
