The New York Knicks bounced back in style, defeating the previously unbeaten Chicago Bulls, 128–116, on Monday (PH time) at Madison Square Garden.

Behind a strong team effort and a red-hot shooting from deep, the Knicks led by as many as 25 points in the second half to even their record at 3-3 while handing the Bulls (5-1) their first loss of the season.

Jalen Brunson powered the win with 31 points, while OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 and 20 points, respectively, to help New York avenge their loss to the Bulls in NBA Cup play two days earlier.

Jordan Clarkson was the top guy off the bench with 15 points for the Knicks.

For Chicago, Josh Giddey continued his stellar form with another triple-double — 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists — but it wasn’t enough to keep the Bulls’ perfect record alive.
