On the evening of OG Anunoby’s return to the pitch (28 minutes and 12 points for him) the Knicks suffered their 4th defeat in the last 5 games without finding answers to Jevonte Green’s career-high evening, this year in the G League for a long time . Green finished with 25 points and 13 rebounds (both career-high) and led the Bulls together with the double-doubles of DeRozan (20+10 assists) and Vucevic (16 with 13 rebounds).
Not even a great evening from Jalen Brunson, who finished with 35 points and 11 assists, saved the Knicks who saw Josh Hart sent off for a kick given to Green during a penetration at the rim. Brunson – with DiVincenzo not very precise, 4/12 shooting – takes 28 shots, makes 13 (with 1/5 from three) also adds 6 rebounds but loses 5 balls and fails to save the Knicks from the knockout in the “Windy City ”.
