In a disappointing showing before their home crowd, the Chicago Bulls fell to the New York Knicks with a score of 99 to 105, resulting in their ninth straight loss. Despite contributions from M. Buzelis, who scored 15 points in 26 minutes on the court, the Bulls struggled to maintain competitiveness against the Knicks. Other notable performances included Jalens Smith and Isaacs Okoro, each adding 12 points, yet it was not enough to secure a victory.

The Knicks were led by an impressive performance from Karl-Anthony Towns, who scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Jalens Brunson and Landry Shamet also contributed significantly, scoring 19 and 16 points respectively. The Bulls' defensive issues and lack of offensive execution have been highlighted as key factors in their ongoing losing streak, which now ties for the fourth worst in franchise history.

This current skid marks 24 wins against 34 losses for the Bulls in the Eastern Conference, placing them in a precarious position as they strive to turn their season around. The only other team in the NBA experiencing a longer losing streak is the Sacramento Kings, representing another Lithuanian player, Domantas Sabonis, who has lost 16 consecutive matches. Without immediate improvements, the Bulls may face severe consequences in their playoff hopes this season.
