The Knicks mounted a furious fourth-quarter comeback to beat the Bucks, 91-88, Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks dragged through three quarters before showing their first signs of life since being wiped out in Boston Thursday night, 104-59.
Jamal Crawford led the way and put the Knicks up in the closing seconds with a side-angle jumper that went off glass. He apologized to Knicks fans for the Boston debacle during his post-game interview on the court.
Fred Jones also played a key role in the win, scoring all 10 of his points in the final period. Jones did not see action until an injury to Stephon Marbury's shoulder forced him out of the game. The comeback was initiated and completed with Marbury in the locker room.
Crawford and Zach Randolph each had 25 points to lead the Knicks. Michael Redd had 27 points for the Bucks.

Isiah Thomas promised a lineup shakeup if the Knicks do not respond from last night's Boston massacre and beat the Bucks Friday night at the Garden. Struggling center Eddy Curry (four points, 2-for-11, three rebounds) after one of his worst outings as a Knick in the 104-59 catastrophe could be headed to the bench, or even Stephon Marbury, again.
Thomas didn't hear TNT's Charles Barkley's prediction that he will get fired if the Knicks lose to Milwaukee tonight, but he sure sounded like a man desperate for a victory.
"We'll see (tonight)," Thomas said about a lineup change. "It will be an interesting game for us. We can end up winning three of our last four or take another step backwards."
"Let's see how we respond. It's depending on how we play (tonight)."
The bond between Thomas and Marbury still seems strained with Thomas saying they have only a "coach-player relationship" now.

The Knicks' brief winning streak is history, and the Celtics nearly made history ending it.
The Celtics cruised to one of the easiest victories ever on Thursday night, beating New York 104-59 to send the Knicks to their third-worst loss and their second-worst scoring performance of the shot-clock era.
Only Nate Robinson's 37-foot 3-pointer at the final buzzer saved the Knicks from an even bigger embarrassment.
