How to watch Chicago Bulls vs New York Knicks NBA game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time
The New York Knicks continue their swing through the Eastern Conference with a stop in Chicago to face a red-hot Bulls team. Chicago has come out of the gates firing, riding a perfect 4-0 start to open the season.
The Knicks, meanwhile, have hit a bit of turbulence after a strong beginning. They opened their campaign with back-to-back wins but stumbled on the road, dropping consecutive games to Miami and Milwaukee. The 115-107 loss to the Heat was followed by a 121-111 setback against the Bucks, and while it’s still early days in the season, no team wants to start sliding this soon with a potential three-game skid looming.
The Bulls, on the other hand, have made the most of their early home-heavy schedule, playing three of their first four contests at the United Center. That home-court advantage has paid dividends, as Chicago’s offense has looked sharp and energized. Their latest triumph came in a 126-113 victory over the Sacramento Kings, further solidifying their status as one of the hottest teams in the league to start the year.
