The Chicago Bulls went into the All-Star break on a four-game losing streak, and now have to face the New York Knicks in their first game post-vacation. The Knicks are in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 36-18 record, while the Bulls continue to sit in tenth place at 22-33.

The New York Knicks were undermanned coming out of the All-Star break, but that didn't mean they would get their second half off to a bad start. Without OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, and Mitchell Robinson, New York still found a way to outlast the Chicago Bulls Thursday night in a 113-111 contest at Madison Square Garden.
