The Milwaukee Bucks have routed New York 95-79 in London, extending the Knicks' franchise-record losing streak to 16.

OJ Mayo scored 22 points while Brandon Knight had 20 points and six steals for the Bucks as the Knicks showed why they are an NBA-worst 5-36.

The contest was a poor advertisement for the NBA on Thursday night in at the O2 Arena in its annual London game.

The Knicks missed their first 10 shots - three in a six-second span - and gave up 14 offensive rebounds, 10 in the first half.

The Bucks took a 14-0 lead, were up by 24 in the second quarter and never let New York closer than 11 the rest of the way.

"We didn't give ourselves much of a chance after the first few minutes of the game," Knicks coach Derek Fisher said.
