Ayo Dosunmu putting in a strong performance so far tonight. Five points off the bench and really active hands off the ball on the defensive end. – 8:54 PM
Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
DeMar took him to Europe! 🌎

Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Standing ovation for Joakim Noah during that timeout break. He’s 2-for-2 on attending Bulls-Knicks games at the United Center this season – 8:53 PM
Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Dosunmu is a lot more impactful than I thought he could be as a rookie. Just constant energy and effort on D. And plays with a ton of pace, which makes him a good fit with/replacement for Lonzo and Caruso, to get team in transition – 8:52 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Joakim Noah is in the house again tonight at the United Center – in a box as he was last time Knicks were here. – 8:52 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
How about the play of @AyoDos_11 He has been sensational for the Bulls – 8:50 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
The job Caruso is doing guarding Randle reminds me of when Brad Stevens put Marcus Smart on Porzingis during his Knicks days — giving up size but making it impossible for them to make a move. – 8:49 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Caruso is absurd guarding the ball. Doesn’t even give into Randle trying to overpower him. Building a really strong all-defense case this year. – 8:48 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Coby White is still finding his way after return from shoulder injury, but looks more aggressive on drives early in second quarter. Got a floater to drop and assisted a Caruso 3 driving and kicking off a closeout – 8:47 PM
Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Nasty pass from Caruso – 8:46 PM
Stephen Noh @StephNoh
Alex Caruso was matched up on Julius Randle to start this game. Obviously giving up a ton of size there. His defense in that first quarter, combined with help from Lonzo Ball, was impressive as usual. pic.twitter.com/f9BuUkffTO – 8:45 PM

Through one quarter, Bulls lead the Knicks 25-20.
• Randle 10 & 2
• Barrett 0 pts, 7 rebs
• Ball 8 & 4
Knicks shooting 32 percent from the field. – 8:41 PM
Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
Up 5 through 1Q.
Lonzo Ball: 8 points, 4 rebs
Zach LaVine: 6 points pic.twitter.com/f5QzQ8f8AV – 8:41 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Knicks down 25-20 at thened of the first quarter – Thibodeau used 11 different players. – 8:40 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Bulls jumped out to a 20-8 lead in first six minutes, but score 5 points in final 5:48 of first quarter. 25-20 entering second – 8:40 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Quinten Grimes as the last sub in the bench unit. Jericho Sims out there, too, with Gibson and Robinson out and Noel with three fouls. That’s a move. – 8:40 PM
Stephen Noh @StephNoh
Any of my readers catch the flex action on this baseline out of bounds play? One of the Bulls’ go-tos that I detailed here: https://t.co/WQW4f3jDQv pic.twitter.com/XNbC6VgMcI – 8:37 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Jericho Sims alert – 8:36 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
3 fouls for Noel. Knicks already without Taj Gibson and Mitchell Robinson. – 8:36 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
That’s 3 fouls on Noel – no Robinson or Taj tonight, so Jericho Sims is at the scorer’s table. – 8:36 PM
Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Best starting lineup adjustment for the Knicks? – 8:33 PM
Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
This is a WINNING play by Zo!

That DeMar DeRozan layup snapped a 3 minute, 44 second long scoreless stretch for Bulls – 8:33 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
I’d imagine that play where Lonzo Ball raced down on defense to beat Evan Fournier to a long outlet and knocked it off Fournier is the sort of video that Thibodeau will run for his team a few times. – 8:28 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
That’s incredible hustle from Lonzo Ball to thwart a transition opportunity. – 8:24 PM
Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Derrick Rose checks in and gets a standing ovation as if it’s one of his first times back. – 8:24 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Huge ovation for Derrick Rose here again as he enters the game. – 8:24 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Thunderous standing O for Derrick Rose – 8:23 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
And it’s Alec Burks to the rescure – 5:31 in with the Knicks down 15-4. Noel is out with two fouls. Knicks going really small – and Bulls counter with the Derrick Jones Jr. at center lineup. – 8:22 PM

Also, I am not in Chicago for this one, so I will be honorably couch tweeting for the remainder of the evening. It’s far more comfortable here. – 8:20 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
RJ Barrett is 0-for-3, Randle has 3 turnovers. It’s not just the new guys. – 8:20 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Part of the reason it doesn’t feel like a change to the Knicks’ starters is inevitable, despite the struggles, is that there is rarely even a smaller, in-game move. Knicks first unit getting pummeled to start right now, but they come back out after the timeout. – 8:19 PM
Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls
Watch Zo stepback!

3:45 in and we’ve got a Thibodeau timeout – Knicks down 11-4. – 8:16 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Tony Bradley off to very strong start vs. Knicks. Just kept that possession alive and Ball scored. Has 4 pts, 2 rebs. – 8:15 PM

Ahead of Knicks-Bulls tipping off soon, wanted to post one of the most fitting quotes I had in “Blood in the Garden.” The way it used to be once upon a time.

Mike Lynch @SportInfo247
Since the NBA/ABA merger 5 guards 21 or younger have averaged at least 20 Ppg, 5 Apg and 4 rpg on 53% or better shooting over a 10-game span:
4 of them went on to be MVPs:
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant
Derrick Rose
The other is TYRESE MAXEY in his last 10 games – 7:38 PM
Frank Isola @TheFrankIsola
Isaiah Stewart, who suffered a cut to his face, is likely to get multiple game suspension. If LeBron gets a game that means he’s out vs the Knicks on Tuesday. – 7:38 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Nuggets starting Jeff and JaMychal Green in place of MPJ and Jokic. They went small against Chicago on Friday with Jeff Green at center and gave up 17 offensive rebounds.
The Greens were the only bigs Denver played in that game. Suns can either stick with McGee or go small. – 7:34 PM

Andy Dalton has taken more hits off the field than on the turf in his brief Chicago run, but I’ll say this, he is a true professional and certainly appears to be a great and supportive teammate. – 2:59 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
It’s amazing how the Chicago Bears have spent the better part of the past 60 years producing bad offenses.
There have been some good years, of course. Maybe 10. 🤷🏽♂️. Or so.
The crazy thing is that the O hummed under Trestman. But he let the D go to complete garbage. #cursed – 2:22 PM
