In New York, the Bulls rolled past the Knicks 127-104. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
