New York jumped to an 8-2 early lead and gained the necessary separation in the third quarter by outscoring the Bulls 22-14. Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 23 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. Derrick Rose scored 15 of his 17 points in the first half, Kyle O’Quinn and Joakim Noah posted double-double performances, and Mindaugas Kuzminskas recorded a career-high 19 points in the win that pushed New York season series advantage over Chicago to 2-0.
