Knicks 103, Bulls 95

Fourth quarter crawl: For the second straight game, the Bulls struggled to score in the fourth quarter. They held on defensively to beat Washington on Wednesday, but were outscored 18-12 in the fourth quarter by the Knicks on Saturday. Carlos Boozer led the Bulls with 26 points and 19 rebounds.

Red and green: Derrick Rose finished with 25 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 6 steals, but got no gifts from the referees. Despite taking 28 shots and driving to the basket relentlessly, Rose shot just 3 free throws against New York. Two of those came on a borderline flagrant foul by Amare Stoudemire early in the game.

On Blitzen: In two games against the Bulls this season, the Knicks have knocked down 28 of 46 shots from 3-point range, good for 61 percent.
