The Knicks outclassed the Bulls for 42 of 48 mins. This was done while Julius, their best player, had a subpar game.
I fully expect the Knicks to tighten up their late game struggles as the season evolves. Sometimes wins are ugly but all that matters is the W.
Nothing about watching that game would make someone comfortable justifying the preseason projections that the Bulls are a better team than the Knicks. Even with the near choke / one point victory. That’s what I take away from tonight’s game.
