KNICKS CRUISE TO VICTORY OVER THE BUCKS

"We just took the paint whenever we wanted it. There was nothing anyone on their team could do about it." - Pappy Knuckles

The struggling Bucks were destroyed down low as the Knicks improved to 2-1. The combination of Rasheed Wallace and Dirk Notwitzki proved to be deadly as they treated Kevin Love and the Bucks lineup of big men like a YMCA rec league squad. Rasheed recieved POG with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. Dirk finished with an equally impressive stat line of 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks.

Dirk Nowitzki was pleased to have both him and Rasheed playing well. "When one of us dominates we're a tough team to stop. When both of us are on our game you might as well call it a night."

Jason Terry recorded 9 assists and CJ Miles stepped up with 14 points. For yet another game, his presence seemed to lead to nothing but good things. "I'm just out there trying to do my job. When you have great players around you it makes things a lot easier."

C.J. Miles: The Future?

The Bucks were lead by the duo of Allen Iverson and Hedo Turkoglu who scored 21 and 19 points respectively. They were able to close the point gap several times throughout the game, but they never lead at any point. "This was just a real frustrating game," said a disappointed Iverson.

Despite the win, the Knicks realize that they'll need to put a streak together to be taken seriously.
