Dame Time took on a somber tone after a loss to the New York Knicks. Damian Lillard is one of the headliners of the Milwaukee Bucks' dreary start to the 2024-25 season, one exacerbated by a 116-94 loss to the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Friday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks sleepwalked through another defeat on Friday night, this time a 116-94 blowout at the hands of the New York Knicks, who led by as many as 30 along the way. Long after the game, a frustrated Giannis Antetokounmpo called his team out for its lack of effort and made it clear these kinds of performances are not acceptable.

Antetokounmpo was especially frustrated since the Bucks had played better of late. The Bucks dropped a pair of close games against the undefeated Cavaliers — including a two-point loss in Cleveland on Monday when Antetokounmpo did not dress — then posted a 23-point victory against Utah on Thursday night.
