OG Anunoby’s return not enough as Knicks fall to Bulls after Josh Hart ejection
NY Post
CHICAGO — The Knicks started slow, lost a key player to a controversial ejection and never quite recovered.
Jalen Brunson carried his offensive share with 35 points and 11 assists, but he didn’t get much help despite OG Anunoby’s return as the Knicks dropped another important game in their playoff chase, 108-100, Friday night to the Bulls.
The loss was the fourth loss in five games for the Knicks (45-32), who remained fifth in the East but only 1 ½ games ahead of the No. 6 Pacers (who beat the Thunder on Friday).
The No. 4 Magic, who own the tiebreaker over the Knicks, lost to the Hornets on Friday in a shocker.
“We just need to be better, plain and simple,” Brunson said.
In addition to allowing 25 points to recent G-Leaguer Javonte Green, Tom Thibodeau’s was killed on the glass, 57-38.
