Knicks End Bulls' 5-0 Start With Season-High 128-116 Victory

The New York Knicks avenged a recent loss by defeating the Chicago Bulls 128-116 at Madison Square Garden, snapping a three-game losing streak and handing the Bulls their first defeat of the season. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 31 points, supported by Karl-Anthony Towns' 20 points and 15 rebounds, while the Knicks excelled with a season-high 47.6% shooting from three-point range. Chicago, despite a strong first half and key performances from Josh Giddey and Nikola Vucevic, struggled defensively in the second half as the Knicks increased their lead through balanced scoring and improved defense. The Bulls had entered the game undefeated but were hampered by significant injuries to key players such as Coby White and Zach Collins, affecting their depth and offensive output. This injury situation provided the Knicks with a critical advantage, enabling them to capitalize on Chicago's weakened roster and secure the win. The two teams are set for further matchups, with the Knicks looking to build on this momentum and the Bulls aiming to recover from their injury setbacks.
