The Knicks end the Bulls’ undefeated streak

In the negative sense, the Nix received at Madison Square Garden Bullssurprising leaders Eastern Conference. The game that cooks Jalen Brunson (31 points), And the Anunobi (21 points) et Karl-Anthony Towns (20 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists) controlled from start to finish, counting even up to 25 points in advance, just to put an end to the invincibility of their evening guests. Who had already defeated them two days earlierNBA Cup…

The offensive output of Mike Brown’s men is more than complete, Chicago did not resist this time, despite the team that is present again (seven players with more than 10 points, incl Josh Giddei in triple-double). Led by Jalen Brunson, unsustainable in the first quarter and again unsolvable in the fourth, while the change came after the break, New York therefore he gives some air, after an ugly streak of three consecutive defeats.

In addition to the contribution of the trio Brunson – Anunoby – Towns, the Knicks can be happy to note that their bench has regained color, e.g. Jordan Clarkson (15 points) et Josh Hart (14 points, 9 rebounds), much more inspiring than before. The kind of night where everything finally went New York’s way, as evidenced by their attacking stats…

TO BE REMEMBERED

– New York relentless in attack. Still undefeated at home this season after three games, the Knicks have done whatever it takes to get back on balance. Led by Jalen Brunson, the author of an excellent first quarter (19 points), they quickly took control, while their offense did not let up all evening. Skilled in three-pointers (20/47), perfect in free throws (22/22), clean ball in hand, present in offensive rebounds and efficient in the fast game, Mike Brown’s players (J Hart and Jordan Clarkson in the lead) returned in 48 minutes all the confidence that had disappeared in recent days.

– Chicago falls for the first time. Surprisingly undefeated after five games, the Bulls are now unbeaten. Offensively, they certainly didn’t have a bad match – even in the absence of their sixth man, Ayo Dosunmu – but defensively it was a completely different story. Without an answer to the duo of Jalen Brunson – Karl-Anthony Towns, who sent to the line too often, Billy Donovan’s team took water from all sides, and especially behind the 3-point line, which they still defended so well from the restart.
