5 Knicks takeaways from a disheartening loss to Chicago

The New York Knicks suffered a heartbreaking 124-123 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, the day the Manhattanites opened a four-game homestand.

The Knicks, after rallying from a 22-point deficit, saw it all slip away due to a late foul by Josh Hart—who brushed Coby White’s afro—and a last-second miss by Jalen Brunson, whose shot went halfway through the rim only to somehow, inexplicably, bounce out.

With the Knicks back under .500 for the nth time this season, here’s a look at five takeaways from Wednesday’s loss.
