In what is believed to be a league first, the Bulls organized a special trip for the players to take their moms on the team’s charter as they traveled to New York for Chicago’s game against the Knicks.

Jarrett Jack is not shy in crunch time. Quite the opposite, actually. The veteran point guard seems to play with more confidence down the stretch of close games, as was the case Wednesday in the Knicks’ 122-199 double overtime loss to the Bulls at Madison Square Garden. At 34, Jack became the oldest Knick to…

When Jeff Hornacek was asked for his midseason assessment of the Knicks before their 41st game of the season Wednesday night at the Garden, the essence of his answer was this: “They ain’t scared.” That counts as progress after last year’s debacle under former team president Phil Jackson felt like “Dead Men Walking” every time…

The Bulls’ unicorn introduced himself to the Garden crowd Wednesday night in a big way. Rookie forward Lauri Markkanen, who has drawn comparisons to Kristaps Porzingis, put on a show in the Bulls’ 122-119 double-overtime victory over the Knicks, notching 33 points and 10 rebounds. The parallels to Porzingis were put on full display, as…

Add another page to the Kristaps Porzingis-Jen Selter story. Selter, the fitness Instagram model who has expressed interest in KP, was sitting a few rows off the court Wednesday night when the Knicks lost 122-119 to the Bulls in double overtime. Asked by The Post about her relationship with the Knicks star, Selter insisted with…

Jeff Hornacek sees the Bulls as rebuilding club similar to his Knicks. Except Chicago finds a way to pull out close games and the Knicks find ways to lose them. With 7-foot rookie Lauri Markkanen looking like the best European big man on the floor, the Bulls needed two overtimes this time, but pulled off…

Ramon Sessions has been around long enough. He knows how this works. He knows this is a business. He knows to ignore the outside noise. With rumors swirling the Knicks may be close to waiving the 31-year-old journeyman, as the team works on a deal to add another point guard — Trey Burke — to…

Enes Kanter isn’t complaining but he’s also wondering why he and the fourth quarter don’t mix any more, calling it “weird’’ — a word he used four times. Kanter entered Wednesday night’s 122-119 loss to the Bulls having not played in the fourth quarter for five straight games. He played four minutes midway through the…

Rookie Lauri Markkanen scored a season-high 33 points, Kris Dunn shook off a nightmarish shooting night to make the tiebreaking basket in the second overtime, and the Chicago Bulls beat the New York Knicks 122-119 on Wednesday night.

Knicks coach Jeff Hornaceck said prior to Wednesday’s game with the Bulls that it’s possible injured guard Tim Hardaway Jr. could return this weekend.

Just 2-7 in their last nine games — but coming off a 100-96 win at Dallas on Monday that stopped a three-game losing streak — the New York Knicks welcome the Chicago Bulls to Madison Square Garden on Wednesday in their first matchup this season.

The Knicks took the time to try out their skills with a bowling ball instead of a basketball at the 19th annual Knicks Bowl event Tuesday night.

Knicks SG Tim Hardaway Jr. would love to reconnect with his college teammate, Trey Burke, on the court if he were to get the call-up.

Sessions has been demoted from starting point guard to bench warmer to the leading candidate to be gone.

The Knicks are now officially past the halfway of their season.

Jarrett Jack pulled off a few of the highlight plays of the night.

In the shadow of MSG Tuesday night, Knicks stars present and past came out to give back to their community and fans.

The Knicks reached the midpoint of their season with a disappointing game that has typified their first half. They built a double-digit lead at home, squandered it, Kristaps Porzingis disappeared at key moments, they made some dramatic plays but in the end they ran out of them.

The Knicks are going to have to figure this thing out.

Tim Hardaway Jr.’s return is drawing nearer.
