The Chicago Bulls extended their unbeatable start to the season on Friday with a 135-125 win over the New York Knicks, their fifth win out of five in the NBA.
At the United Center in Chicago, Josh Giddey had a triple double with 32 points, ten rebounds and nine assists and was supported by a 26-point performance from Nikola Vucevic. Ayo Dosunmu shined off the bench with 22 points (8-of-10 shooting) and nine assists.
Dominate with precision and style at home
The Chicago Bulls, led by Billy Donovan, shot 53% from the field and 46% from beyond the arc.
The game was not only for the regular season, but also for the NBA Cup.
And it was played on an unprecedented gray parquet with the lettering ‘Chicago’ and the cup logo in the center.
Mike Brown’s Knicks suffered their third consecutive loss after starting the year with two wins.
Dominican Karl Anthony Towns had a double-double of 22 points and ten rebounds, while Jalen Brunson scored 29 points and Mikal Bridges, 26.

Legendary championships
The Chicago Bulls are one of the NBA’s most iconic franchises, thanks to their glorious era in the 1990s.
Founded in 1966, they reached their peak under the leadership of Phil Jackson and the undisputed leadership of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
The team won six NBA championships, winning two historic “three-peats” (three consecutive titles).
The first trilogy came between 1991 and 1993, when the Chicago Bulls beat the Lakers, Trail Blazers and Suns.
After Jordan’s brief retirement, dominance returned with a vengeance between 1996 and 1998, defeating the SuperSonics and twice the Jazz.
Since then, the Chicago Bulls have not won another title, but their legacy remains synonymous with excellence and passion in the NBA.
