From Garrett Stepien: The Knicks snapped a three-game skid with Sunday’s 128-116 win over the Bulls, avenging this past Friday’s 135-125 loss and delivering Chicago’s season-first defeat. Takeaways Jalen Brunson’s 19 first-quarter points set the tone for New York (3-3), which built a 34-24 lead after 12 minutes. Brunson totaled 31 points on 10-of-22 shooting […]

2025-26 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Bulls
Time to stop the Bulls’ undefeated season! Sorry, the Bills/Chiefs game distracted me. Let’s go, Knicks!
From Robert Sanchez and Ian Begley: The Knicks picked up the 2026-27 rookie scale team option on Pacome Dadiet, sources told SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley, before the team’s Oct. 31 decision deadline. Dadiet, 20, was New York’s first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft (25th overall) out of France and played in 18 games […]
From Stefan Bondy: The Knicks showed up on Halloween as a team at full strength. It wasn’t a disguise but still felt like a ruse as they were toppled Friday night by the Bulls 135-125, a defeat summarized by a terrible start, a strong third quarter, a poor finish and a defense in the sewer. […]
The Knicks head to Chicago to take on the somehow undefeated Chicago Bulls. There is no way that the Bulls are this good (although, for their sake, it is nice that their #11 overall pick from last season is at least playing better now than he did last season), so hopefully the full-strength Knicks take […]

2025-26 Game Thread: Knicks @ Bucks
The Knicks head to Milwaukee to take on Giannis and a bunch of flotsam and jetsom, who are somehow 2-1, just like the Knicks. It sure would be nice to beat these guys so badly that Giannis pushes them to trade him to the Knicks, like, next week. Mitch is still out, and that is […]
From Stefan Bondy: The Knicks left here with enough bricks to help all that construction on Brickell Avenue. Mike Brown’s club missed 39 3-pointers in Sunday night’s 115-107 defeat to the Heat, with its misfiring both diverse in categories — some were wide open, others were poor decisions — and widespread. Still, the misses didn’t […]
The Knicks head to Miami to take on the new look Miami Heat (by “new look,” I, of course, mean the “Totally jumbled up mess of a lineup Miami Heat”). This is the Knicks’ first road game, so it’s a test in that regard, but otherwise, this Heat team is a mess (although they did […]
From Robert Sanchez: The Knicks will once again be without center Mitchell Robinson on Sunday. New York ruled out the big man for the third straight contest to begin the season as the team continues to be cautious with him as he comes off a season filled with injuries that limited him to 17 games. […]
From Zach Braziller: Maybe Tom Thibodeau was helping his old team after all. His recent visit with the Celtics, when he broke down how the Knicks beat them last spring, didn’t do much good. In fact, in the first meeting between the two teams since the Knicks sent Boston home last May, not much changed. […]
