The New York Knicks enter the clash with the rival Chicago Bulls at 1-3. What must New York do in order to secure its second win of the season?
The New York Knicks are in desperate need of a victory to help stabilize what’s becoming a losing season. It’s only been four games, but New York has been blown out twice and lost by 13 points to the Detroit Pistons.
True as that all may be, the game that the Knicks are about to play will be unlike any other on the 2016-17 NBA regular season schedule.
The Knicks will travel to play the rival Chicago Bulls on Friday, November 4. The history between the two teams is rich enough to warrant hype and excitement, but it’s more than just another encounter between two teams that hate each other.
Friday, November 4 will mark the first time that new additions Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah will play in Chicago against the Bulls.
With the tension high and the emotion certain to be a factor, the Knicks are approaching a game that could go either way. Rose and Noah could lead an explosive attack or they could be overwhelmed by the moment.
The question: what will the five keys be to defeating the rival Bulls and getting the season back on track?
