The Bulls fended off the Knicks 126-117. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
