What a brutal loss for the Knicks and a great win for the Bulls. Knicks got sloppy late in the 4th. A few turnovers and missed free throws is how you blow a lead. DeRozan makes his play for Clutch Player of the Year. – 9:59 PM

First three-game win streak for the Bulls since February of 2022. If you go back and look at the standings, Chicago had the best record in the East at the beginning of that month. – 9:58 PM

The beauty of Barrett’s 41-point night so far hasn’t necessarily been that 41 points is a lot of points. It’s that the 41 have generally felt within the flow of the Knicks’ offense. The past few possessions though, it feels like they’re force feeding him & he’s taking tough shots – 9:39 PM

Bulls lead 29-22 after the first quarter.
Really well-balanced start. LaVine leads with 12 points, but all five starters have scored and the Bulls already have seven assists. – 8:04 PM

Vooch with a pair of gorgeous back-to-back 3-pointers from the top of the arc. Slow start for both sides on offense tonight, but that deep shooting could help the Bulls open up a bit. – 7:51 PM

Bulls vet DeMar DeRozan talked to the Sun-Times on Friday, and made it very clear that in 14 years in the NBA he’s never asked for a trade, and he won’t start now, despite rumors. Good stuff – especially if you like “Training Day.”

No real update from Tom Thibodeau on Obi Toppin’s leg injury. Team announced 15 days ago that he’d be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks. Thibs said he doesn’t believe the re-eval has happened yet. Toppin still running only in the pool, not on land. Doing form shooting, too, but that’s it – 6:51 PM

Ok. So I had a connecting flight from Minneapolis to Chicago. The plane left Minneapolis over an hour late. I missed my connection in Chicago and wound up spending over 14 hours at the airport in Chicago. I got to Houston and it took over an hour to find my luggage. But I made. – 6:09 PM

Alex Caruso is still experiencing concussion symptoms. Before they can check on what exactly is also wrong with the sprained shoulder they have to allow him to get over those symptoms. Stay tuned. – 6:08 PM

Dagger 1 is still here in NYC, and Billy Donovan will make injuries official here soon. What we know: Caruso (out), DJ (out), Javonte Green (doubtful) and Goran is probable, and looked like a go at shootaround today. – 5:35 PM

Desmond Bane had to go see a foot specialist in New York. He has to wear stiffer shoes. But now, he’s inching closer to a potential return vs. the Suns.

The top 5 teams in net rating over the last month are an interesting mix of teams:
1. Grizzlies
2. Knicks
3. Nets
4. Cavaliers
5. 76ers
The bottom 5 is more predictable:
26. Pacers
27. Wizards
28. Pistons
29. Spurs
30. Hornets – 1:49 PM
