Bulls Come Up Short vs. Knicks

The Chicago Bulls could only score 12 points in the fourth quarter and thus watched as the New York Knicks strode past them to a 105-100 victory. Eddy Curry scored 29 points in a sweet all-around performance, leading the Knicks on their comeback run in the last period of play. The Bulls had held Curry to zero points last time the two teams played, but there was something very different this time. The Bulls could not give New York their eighth-straight loss. Chicago is now 13-20 on the year.

This was a game that the Bulls should have, could have, and needed to win to get back on course. You aren’t going to get many more games as easy as this one. The Bulls were playing the lowly Knicks, they were playing at home, and they were playing some of their best basketball this season coming into the game. What happened out there? Let’s hope that his is the exception, not the rule for the new-look Bulls, because these are the games that this team simply must take advantage of to try to get back into the thick of things in the Central standings.
