The New York Knicks defeated the Chicago Bulls, 128-117, at United Center on Tuesday night.

The Knicks (47-32) got off to a fast start that would later prove key to their success, scoring 36 points in the first quarter to build a nine-point lead. The Bulls (37-42) managed to shave three points from their deficit before halftime, but they couldn't make up any ground during a third quarter in which New York matched Chicago point for point. The visitors didn't rest on their laurels in the final period, either, ultimately growing their advantage by another five points by game's end.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 45 points, adding eight assists, three rebounds and one steal. OG Anunoby furnished 24 points, three rebounds, one assist and one block. Donte DiVincenzo delivered 21 points, six assists, four rebounds and one steal. Josh Hart generated a 17-point, 13-rebound double-double that included seven assists and one steal. Isaiah Hartenstein posted 11 points, six assists, four rebounds, three blocks and one steal.

DeMar DeRozan paced the Bulls with 34 points, complementing them with six assists and five rebounds. Nikola Vucevic supplied 26 points, five rebounds, one assist and one block. Coby White registered 24 points, six assists, three rebounds and one steal.

The Knicks remain on the road and visit the Boston Celtics on Thursday night, while the Bulls visit the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night.
