The New York Knicks dominated the Chicago Bulls 136–96 at Madison Square Garden on April 3, 2026, delivering a decisive 40-point victory that exposed significant gaps between the Eastern Conference contenders. O. Anunoby led the Knicks with 31 points while M. Robinson added 17, as New York shot 52.7 percent from the field and buried 15 three-pointers to overwhelm Chicago's defense. The Knicks' defensive rating of 96.5 suffocated the Bulls, who managed just 43.2 percent shooting and committed 16 turnovers compared to New York's eight. Chicago's C. Sexton (19 points) and L. Miller (14 points) could not generate enough offensive rhythm, with the Bulls' per-quarter splits revealing a collapse—scoring just 16 in the opening frame and 24 in the fourth. New York's 30 assists and 11 steals underscored ball movement and perimeter pressure, while the 54 rebounds gave the Knicks control of the glass. The Knicks' 138.3 offensive rating and suffocating defense well exceeded the 236.5 Vegas total, indicating a mismatch in talent and execution. This rout signals New York's playoff readiness as the Knicks continue climbing the Eastern Conference standings.
