Josh Giddey now sits on Chicago's triple-double podium with legendary duo Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen after his Madison Square Garden love affair continued.
The Bulls' unbeaten run was halted but Giddey's NBA All-Star stocks continued to rise with a 23-point triple-double in New York.
The Australian guard's hot form continued in a 128-116 loss to the Knicks on Monday (AEST), with Giddey adding 12 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in his 19th NBA career triple-double.
