Over the course of the 2022-23 NBA season, the Bucks swept the Knicks in the three close games they played.
However, the number-one seeded Bucks were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round by the underdog Miami Heat meaning the number five Knicks made it further.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks met up with the upstart Heat in a best-of-seven series. They lost 4-2.
There are a number of options for fans that prefer to watch games from the comfort of their own home.
MSG Network, ABC, ESPN, NBA TV and TNT are likely your best bets.
For cord cutters, we recommend looking into Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling or YouTube TV.
Just make sure to check local listings before tuning in.
