When Michael Jordan, Scottie Pipen and the Bulls were winning their were the one team that was always in the way of the Knicks shot at winning a 3rd NBA title in franchise history. Now it looks like the Bulls are again in the way of the Knicks continuing a 13 game winning streak.It took overtime but the Bulls gored the Knicks 118-111. The Bulls also stopped the Miami Heat’s winning streak at 27 wins.
Nate Robinson scored a season-high 35 points for the Bulls in the win and Carmelo Anthony scored 36 in the loss.
Anthony missed a potential winner at the end of regulation, and Robinson took over down the stretch, scoring eight points in overtime to lift the Bulls to another streak-breaking win.
”It would have been nice if Melo knocks down that shot,” Woodson said. ”We could have walked out of here with a win. It didn’t happen.”
”For us, we’re not focused on stopping streaks,” Robinson said. ”We’re just trying to get better as a team going into the playoffs.”
The Knicks finally tied it at 105 with 14.5 seconds left when a driving Anthony got fouled by Butler and hit both free throws.
Robinson started overtime with a three-point play to give Chicago a 108-105 lead, and after Anthony scored, the Bulls started to pull away.
Of the teams in the first round or in any round the Bulls are the least favorable matchup for the Knicks. The Knicks are 0-4 against the Bulls.
