4 people scored 20+ points and suffered a disastrous defeat! The dark horse has won 5 consecutive games and rushed to the first place in the Eastern Conference. Jidi became the first player in the his

On November 1, the NBA Cup group stage officially started, with the Bulls playing against the Knicks at home. In this game, the Bulls started the game in a hot offensive state, completely suppressing the Knicks. At one time, they established a 24-point lead. However, in the second half, the Bulls' offensive end declined. The Knicks launched a counterattack and successfully closed the gap. Fortunately, the Bulls stabilized the situation in the final quarter. In the end, the Bulls defeated the Knicks 135-125, winning 5 consecutive games and remaining undefeated.

The Bulls' performance in the new season is eye-catching. I didn't expect them to win consecutive games. I thought they would continue to be bad. After all, they wanted to reorganize the lineup during the offseason, but unfortunately they failed. This time facing the powerful Knicks in the Eastern Conference, they defeated their opponents with outstanding offense and once established a 24-point lead. Although the Knicks later caught up with the score, the Bulls still relied on their stable performance in the final quarter to successfully defend the victory and win five consecutive games.

With the 76ers losing the game, the Bulls became the only undefeated team in the East and became the first in the East. The five-game winning streak at the start was also the first time in team history since the 1996-97 season. The last time was during the Jordan era. This time the Bulls actually brought a surprise, and the team's mental outlook was completely different. Every player was very confident on the court, and the final result was outstanding. As they defeated the Knicks, I believe no one will dare to underestimate them anymore, becoming the dark horse in the East.

The Knicks' offensive status was also very good this time. Up to 4 people in the team scored 20+ points, but they still couldn't win the game. Among them, Brunson scored 29 points, Bridges scored 23 points, Towns had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Anunoby had 26 points. The core members performed very well. Unfortunately, they were unable to prevent the Bulls' offense, allowing their opponents to directly score 135 points. At the same time, they did not bring enough help from the bench.

Giddy, the core of the Bulls' backcourt, performed very well and was not afraid of Brunson at all. He made 12 of 21 shots and 4 of 8 three-pointers. He scored a near-triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists without making any mistakes. This statistic is the first person in the history of the Bulls to achieve this. You know, the Bulls have Jordan in their history. Unexpectedly, Gidi set a record of his own. In addition, Vucevic scored 26 points and 7 rebounds, Daumum on the bench had 22 points and 9 assists, Huerter had 12 points, and Smith had 10 points.
