New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 28, 2025

The market total sat at 232, and Milwaukee's visit from New York played out as a high-scoring first half that gave way to a slugfest in the second. The combined 53 points in Q1 set a measured pace, but the teams erupted for 77 in Q2—the game's highest-scoring quarter—pushing the halves to a combined 130 through two. That explosive stretch masked what became a defensive grind: Q3 yielded just 55 combined points, and Q4 another 47, leaving the final total at 232, which matched the line exactly.

Jalen Brunson carried New York's early load with 36 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Mikal Bridges added 24 points with 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Landry Shamet chipped in 16 points off the bench. On Milwaukee's side, Giannis Antetokounmpo was relentless with 37 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, and Ryan Rollins provided crucial scoring off the bench with 25 points and 4 assists. Gary Trent Jr. contributed 11 points and 3 rebounds as the Bucks' depth showed.

Milwaukee's recent form—averaging 122.7 points scored and 118.0 allowed—suggested offensive firepower, yet New York's typically modest output (110.3 per game over three games) made the second-half slowdown less a surprise. The Bucks' 121-111 victory came down to execution in the closing quarters, where both teams tightened their belts and the total settled on the number.
