Not too long ago, losing by 21 points was enough to throw in the towel at Madison Square Garden. The New York Knicks, however, are now a team used to fighting from dawn to dusk, even if that doesn’t always translate into victory.
Last night they traced that distance to get ahead on the scoreboard, but the Chicago Bulls knew how to hold on to their referents to start a long-suffering 115-119 victory in the basketball mecca.
DeMar DeRozan, with 34 points, led the scoring of the match and he was one of the three players who scored for the visiting team in the final period. Zach LaVine y Nikola Vucevic, both with 27 points, were the other two.
DeRozan scored 18 of his 34 total goals in the fourth quarter, including the last 6 points of the Bulls, who with the victory continue to pressure the Brooklyn Nets for the lead in the East (15-8 vs. 15-6).
Julius RandleWith 30 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, he led the local team, although he missed two key free throws and had a decisive loss that ended the game. Dwindled, the Knicks fell to a neutral balance for the first time this season (11-11) after a good 5-1 start.
Alec Burks, Evan Fournier y Derrick Rose They contributed 16 points each to assist in the failed comeback after a disastrous start in which the team conceded a 37-19 set in the first quarter.
