Barrett completely fooled Bucks star Khris Middleton on the clean hesi, who himself is a pretty formidable defender. The Knicks stud then proceeded to finish with authority over the outstretched arm of a second Milwaukee defender who simply stood no chance against Barrett's momentum. By the way, that was Brook Lopez, a former All-Defense team member, who tried to block Barrett's left-handed flush. Lopez is an excellent shot-blocker, but Barrett simply showed no fear.

The Knicks had a noteworthy first half of the season as they entered the break with a 19-18 record and the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference. Barrett has been a key cog for New York so far this season, and he will look to continue with his strong play for the playoffs-hunting Knicks the rest of the way.
