Teams Preview

New York Knicks

The New York Knicks secured a hard-fought 130–119 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in their last game on April 1, 2026. This performance was defined by efficient shot-making and strong late-game execution, improving their season record to an impressive 49–28. 

In the win against Memphis, Karl-Anthony Towns provided essential interior presence, recording 20 points while shooting 60% from the field and grabbing 11 rebounds with 11 assists. Mikal Bridges also contributed significantly to the balanced attack, adding 24 points on 7-of-12 shooting (58.3% FG). 

The team’s collective efficiency was a continuation of their recent form, which includes notable wins over the Kings and Warriors in late March. 

For the 2025–26 season, the Knicks have established themselves as one of the NBA's most efficient scoring units, averaging 116.7 points per game. They are a elite rebounding team, averaging 45.9 boards per contest, and facilitate well with 27.4 assists. 

Defensively, they have been disciplined, allowing only 110.6 points per game to opponents, which ranks 5th best in the league. Their balanced attack and top-tier defense make them a formidable threat heading into the postseason.

Chicago Bulls

In their most recent game on April 1, 2026, the Chicago Bulls suffered a high-scoring 145–126 defeat at home against the Indiana Pacers. Despite the loss, the Bulls showcased significant offensive flashes, particularly in a 41-point second quarter. 

This performance brought their season record to 36–40, keeping them in a tight race for the final play-in spots in the Eastern Conference. The team struggled defensively, allowing Indiana to shoot over 50% from the field, which ultimately nullified Chicago's own scoring efforts.

The standout performer for the Bulls was Coby White, who poured in 36 points on an efficient 13-of-22 shooting (59.1% FG), including 6-of-11 from beyond the arc (54.5% 3PT). Josh Giddey provided strong all-around support with 20 points, hitting 8-of-14 shots (57.1% FG), while also contributing 11 assists. Nikola Vucevic remained a steady force in the paint, recording 18 points on 7-of-15 shooting (46.7% FG) along with 12 rebounds.

For the 2025–26 season, the Bulls have averaged 114.2 points per game while conceding 116.8. They currently average 43.5 rebounds and 27.8 assists per contest. While their offensive rating has remained competitive, their defensive consistency has been the primary hurdle in securing a higher playoff seed as the regular season concludes.
