Coby White hit his first 3-pointer of the game
with 42.4 seconds left to break a 100-100 tie.
Julius Randle then lost his handle on the ball on the ensuing
possession and Markkanen came up with a steal. This led to a
LaVine 3-pointer at the other end with 22.8 seconds left to all
but seal the outcome.
Chicago prevailed in the first of back-to-back games against the
Knicks at the United Center this week and moved the ball well
throughout the game, finishing with 30 assists on their 42 made
field goals.
White finished with 13 points, six assists and four rebounds,
Daniel Gafford totaled 12 points and nine rebounds, and Patrick
Williams added 10 points for the Bulls, who shot 47.7 percent
overall from the field and 32.4 percent (11-for-34) from 3-point
range.
The Knicks shot 42.5 percent overall but struggled from long
distance, making just 20.7 percent (6-of-29) on 3-pointers.
Randle once again led New York with 23 points, 11 rebounds and
seven assists, and RJ Barrett had 14 points and seven rebounds.
Rookie Immanuel Quickley continued to impress off the Knicks
bench with 16 points, seven assists and six rebounds, and Alec
Burks chipped in 18 points.
The Bulls took an early lead and led by as many as 11 in the
first half.
Still, the Knicks battled back and took a brief 95-94 lead with
3:32 left in the fourth quarter on a 3-pointer from Quickley.
But Chicago had an answer in the clutch and excelled in
transition, outscoring the Knicks 14-3 in fast-break points.
