The Chicago Bulls were motivated to pay the New York Knicks back for handing them their first loss of the season a few weeks ago. Mission accomplished after a back-and-forth 108-101 win that denied the Knicks their first winning streak in three weeks.
With All-Star center Nikola Vuu010deviu0107 still unavailable due to COVID protocol, the Bulls are playing small and looking to get out and run. Early on Lonzo Ball found Zach LaVine ahead on the break.
The home team jumped out to a 20-8 lead, similar to some of the slow starts the Knicks have endured of late.
