Knicks Fall Short in Chicago

OG Anunoby played a basketball game and wasn't wincing in pain the whole time.

Final Score: Knicks 100 - Bulls 108
Record: 45-32

The Knicks were playing the back end of a back-to-back and their third game in four days, while the Bulls were coming off four days of rest. Early on, it was easy to tell which team had dead legs and which club was teeming with excess energy. 

New York again fell behind by 20 points in the first half on Friday, just as they did the night before. Although the Knicks fought back, trimming the lead to four late in the fourth, they could not finish the job. 

There were plenty of negatives from the loss to Chicago, including NY getting destroyed on the glass (the Bulls won the rebound battle 57-38) and allowing journeyman Javonte Green to explode for 25 points and 13 rebounds. Yet, one substantial positive was that OG Anunoby played a basketball game and wasn't wincing in pain the whole time.
