Chicago Bulls Continue Unbeaten Start Defeating New York Knicks 135-125

The New York Knicks ended their three-game road trip with a 125-135 loss to the undefeated Chicago Bulls, dropping their record to 2-3 for the season. Despite having a full roster including the return of Mitchell Robinson and Deuce McBride, the Knicks struggled with a poor first half and a weak bench, being outscored 53-21 by the Bulls' reserves. The starters performed well, with Jalen Brunson scoring 29 points and OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns also contributing strongly, but key misses late in the game prevented a comeback. The Bulls, led by Josh Giddey's 32 points and efficient shooting from Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu, maintained their dominance, shooting 54% from the field and 46% from three-point range. The Knicks continue to grapple with inconsistencies under new coach Mike Brown, especially in defense and bench contributions, while managing questions about Robinson's playing time due to workload management. Overall, the Bulls exemplify the fast-paced, efficient style the Knicks aim to emulate but have yet to achieve consistently this season.
