Julius Randle’s impressive 35-point performance and Jalen Brunson’s double-double with 31 points and 13 assists fueled the New York Knicks (19-15) to a decisive 116-100 win against the Chicago Bulls (15-21) on Wednesday night.
Joining the scoring efforts, newcomer OG Anunoby and Donte DiVincenzo each contributed 11 points for New York, while Isaiah Hartenstein showcased an outstanding performance with a career-high 20 rebounds, 10 points, and five blocks.
Despite DeMar DeRozan’s 28-point effort for the Bulls and Colby White’s 26 points, the absence of key players Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine hampered Chicago’s offensive capabilities.
