The Bulls coach is getting it, and then some.

For the second-straight game, the Bulls fought and clawed to get a game into overtime, only to see it slip away in heartbreaking fashion.

After Atlanta got them on Sunday, it was a much more familiar face on Wednesday, with Tom Thibodeau’s New York Knicks coming into the United Center for the first of two consecutive games, and pulling away in Game 1 with a 128-120 win.

Iron may sharpen iron, but right now at 11-16, the Bulls look very dull.

“I think we’re fighting and competing, but there’s detailed things that we’ve got to get better at,’’ Donovan said.
