For the first time in four visits there was no triple-double for Josh Giddey at Madison Square Garden.
But his Chicago Bulls still left with a 124-123 victory over the New York Knicks, the affair far tighter than it could have been considering the visitors led by 22 in the third quarter.
Boomers guard Giddey (five points, six assists) had dominated in three previous visits to the venue with Oklahoma City.
