Two overtimes, turnovers, fouls, and head-scratching play highlighted the Monday night affair between the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls. Both teams struggled to muster offense for most of this game, and it resulted in a free throw, seemingly before a third overtime, that sealed the deal.
Zach LaVine and his 41 points on 13-for-25 shooting led the way for Chicago, 116-115, to cement one of the NBA’s most interesting games of 2018-19.
It was a unique night for the Knicks, in general. No Tim Hardaway Jr., Kevin Knox returned, Allonzo Trier made his first career start, and the opening lineup had an average age of 21.
