Bucks send Knicks to their 16th straight loss with win in London

I would like someone to explain to me why this afternoon the New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks played their game today at the O2 Arena in London. I will say this, I don't know what is going on with the New York Knicks but they better find an answer soon. Enough about that. The Milwaukee Bucks are having a solid NBA season behind the solid coaching of head coach Jason Kidd. Brandon Knight is having a solid season this year and should be an all-star.  The only issue would be with how many point guards there are in the Eastern Conference.   The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the New York Knicks 95-79 to send the Knicks to their 16th straight loss, and the Knicks record drops to 5-36.   OJ Mayo lead the way for the Bucks by scoring 22 points off the bench. Point guard Brandon Knight added 20 points, 6 assists and 6 steals.  Giannis Antetokounmpo ( I don't know how to pronounce his name added 16 points and 5 rebounds.  Here are the statistics for each team.

The Milwaukee Bucks are 21-19, and currently sitting in the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference.  I feel that the Bucks are having an impressive season.  The only 4 teams above the Bucks in the Eastern Conference right now are (the Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, Toronto Raptors and the Chicago Bulls).    I pray for the recovery of rookie Jabari Parker.   What are your thoughts on this game?
