With Maurice Ndour in the starting lineup the Knicks cruise over Bulls 100-91

As the playoff race is officially over, Jeff Hornacek is trying different lineups giving plenty of minutes to those players who got less attention earlier in the season.

After Sasha Vujacic started against the Heat a few days ago, last night it was Maurice Ndour‘s time to enjoy the floor. Ndour shined with his first double double (13 points and 12 rebounds) in his first start as a Knick with his mother watching him from the crowd as New York beat Chicago 100-91.

“My mom is in town, so I’m pretty excited about that, on her first day watching me play in the U.S. It was really a special moment. I had joy and I had fun out there. I enjoyed myself playing, not only for the team but for her. It was amazing.” [Source]

– Maurice Ndour

The Bulls led only in the first minutes of the game and once the Knicks got on top, they never gave it away. Thy started the second quarter on a 11-0 run, then in the third they managed to go up by 25 points. Even though Chicago cut it to single digit in the closing minute they never posed a threat.

Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, Courtney Lee had 14 and Justin Holiday added 12 off the bench.
