Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls 1/10/2018 [Game #41]

[htr10]

Refs miss a travel on Lopez and Holiday knocks down the 3. Beasley counters down the other end. We trail by 2.

[htr10]

Hornacek going with KP, O’Quinn, Beasley, Lee, and Jack in the closing 2 minutes. Jack drains the jumper and the game is tied with 81 seconds to go.

Beas with a nice dime to Jack for a layup. He also corraled a RB off KP ft miss, blocked Nwaba early in the game. I'd say hes not one dimensional. Knicks down 2 2:38 left. Breen saying KP looks tired, I'm sick of this he's tired excuse, this is not a back to back.

[tiger0330]

Live by the 3 die by the 3 Markkanen has missed his last 3.

[htr10]

Dunn, on a night where he is shooting 3 for 14, goes iso for a perimeter jump shot after KP gets switched onto him and he shoots an air ball.

[htr10]

Crazy last 30 seconds of regulation. Beasley gets blocked. KP emphatically rejects Markkanen at the rim. Dunn misses another jumper. Knicks ball with something like 0.4 seconds to go and tie game.

[htr10]

Going to OT. We need some guys to step up here. Let’s go Knicks!

[htr10]

O’Quinn with the block and KP with the 3. Markkanen answers with another 3.

Refs ignored multiple moving violations from
CHI.... they’ve also called the game differently based on who had possession, bc there were a lot more iffy touch fouls awarding CHi FTs while NYK shooters not given the same benefit.

But CHI has at least 12 points bc refs allowed CHI euro steps and moving pivot feet....

Still, Knicks have no energy and are beating themselves, more than losIng bc OG poor officiating.

If they lose 3 times to CHI, and put forth this effort after having a few days off.... it’s time to be sellers.

But KP finally drains a long three! Let’s go.

[tiger0330]

Couldn't get a shot off with .4 left goes to OT. Entertaining game.

[htr10]

On a night where Markkanen has hit 8 three pointers, you have to wonder why Hornacek has not gone to Lance Thomas to defend him. Thomas is a vastly superior perimeter defender to KP and has decent size.

[tiger0330]

Quinn blocks Rolo and KP nails a 3 to give the Knicks the lead but Lauri makes one to tie it again.

[htr10]

Game tied. 1 minute 49 seconds to go. I look to Jack to guide us to the finish here.

[mafra]

I just saw the CHI Euro rookie jump up in the air, both feet off the ground, spin in a 360 circle, land, then jump again... yet no travel. Now it’s comical and bordering on a gambling addicted ref trying to dictate an outcome.

[htr10]

Maybe the play of the season. Jack inbounds off defender’s back and hits the layup with the shot clock expiring.
