Knicks 135, Bulls 105: "We're so back...

The New York Knicks routed the Chicago Bulls 135-105 at Madison Square Garden, turning their second-quarter surge into a statement for their championship defense. The narrative highlighted an early momentum shift after Josh Giddey attempted to work through a high pick-and-roll, only for OG Anunoby to force a turnover that led to a foul call. By that point, New York was already ahead 43-21. The Knicks then maintained the same tempo across 47 minutes and 58 seconds, with standout contributions across the roster, while the Bulls fell away quickly compared with their earlier performances.
