NBA In-Season Tournament: Bucks vs Knicks, Lakers vs Suns full game highlights

NBA In-Season Tournament continues with Bucks' dominant win over Knicks. Randle's 41 points not enough. Lakers vs. Suns, 7 p.m. on TNT.

The first-ever NBA In-Season Tournament saw two semifinal matchups on Tuesday. The New York Knicks' power forward, Julius Randle, known as The Punching Bag, has been criticized for shooting too much and scoring too little. However, in Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Randle scored a game-high 41 points, making 25 shots out of 31 attempts. Despite his impressive performance, the Knicks were defeated 146-122 by the Bucks, marking one of their worst defensive performances in decades.

The Bucks excelled in shooting, making 23 out of 38 three-pointers with a long-range percentage of 60.5, even higher than their overall percentage of 59.8. Their ball movement and unselfishness led to 32 assists and six players scoring in double figures.

The Bucks will face the Indiana Pacers, the league's No. 1 offense, in the semifinals. The game is scheduled for Thursday in Las Vegas at 2 p.m. The NBA provided cash prizes as an added incentive for the tournament, with each quarterfinalist player earning $50,000, semifinalists receiving $100,000, and the winners getting $500,000.

Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks expressed surprise at learning about the cash prizes, jokingly saying, "The rich get richer." The tournament continues with the Lakers vs. Suns game at 7 p.m. on TNT.
