At Madison Square Garden on Friday night,the New York Knicks lost for the third straight time in games with the Chicago Bulls this season,108-101.The Bulls were led by Luol Deng and his season high 33 points.
Carmelo Anthony's impressive second half and 39 points couldn't save the injury-riddled Knicks,who staged a fourth period rally that was stopped by a Marcus Bellinelli deflection.Anthony was greeted with cheers of "MVP" by the fans at MSG.
The Knicks are missing Raymond Felton,Marcus Canby and Rasheed Wallace,as evidenced by their falling to a 23-13 record with Friday's loss;the Bulls moved up to a 20-14 record.
