The Chicago Bulls fell 107-103 to the New York Knicks Wednesday night, but the game was no where near as close as the final score may make it seem. The Bulls fell behind 34-17 after the first quarter, and never regained their footing from there.
Despite losing by just four points, the Bulls only lead once in the game: at 2-0 following an opening basket from Lauri Markkanen. From then on, the Bulls never held a lead. They looked extremely sluggish on the defensive end, letting the Knicks get easy shots at the rim all night long.
