Chicago Bulls Hold off Hobbled New York Knicks

The Chicago Bulls got another win, one they desperately need, against the New York Knicks on Friday night last week. The Knicks were missing many of their best players, including Stephon Marbury, Quentin Richardson and Eddy Curry, making the task much easier for the Bulls. The 101-96 win didn’t come without a small scare near the end of the game when the Knicks pulled within a couple possessions. However, the combination of a surging Kirk Hinrich and a typically-stellar Luol Deng was too much for the Knicks. The Bulls are now 8-13. Hopefully this team can continue to improve their record and rebound from a slow start. The Bulls will play the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow night.

There’s a good article on the Chicago Sun-Times website about the play of Kirk Hinrich that you ought to check out. The Bulls’ young guard hasn’t been his self in the beginning of the season, but we certainly saw what he can do when he’s on his game while the Bulls were playing the Knicks the other night. Of note for you Bulls fans in attendance was that Chicago set an arena record and a record stat for the NBA so far this year with their 15 blocked shots.
