Knicks run out of gas as defense flops in second half in ugly loss to Bulls
NY Post
CHICAGO — The Knicks better hope it was just tired legs on Saturday night.
Otherwise, getting throttled by the Bulls with the defense disappearing is a sign of problems even larger than their lack of depth.
On the second night of a back-to-back after a taxing loss to the Thunder, the Knicks ran out of steam in the third quarter of a 139-129 disheartening loss to the Bulls.
It translated to their first losing streak since early November and ended with Karl-Anthony Towns limping off the court but probably avoiding any serious injury after getting hit on the leg during his and-1 dunk.
“We didn’t play a lick of defense,” Jalen Brunson said. “Offense wasn’t the problem. Our defense as a group just wasn’t there.”
The Bulls (16-19) dropped 41 points in the third quarter and 76 in the second half.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
