Entering this game, the Knicks listed star point guard Jalen Brunson as questionable with a right ankle sprain. Brunson’s injury status was then changed to a game-time decision as he went through pregame warmups.

Most teams turn it off when they’re down 22 points in the second half of a game. But the Knicks aren’t most teams, and the Madison Square Garden faithful isn’t just any crowd. Those are two points underscored in a wild 124-123 loss in the second leg of a back-to-back against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.

In what could have been an ominous possibility for the Knicks in the backcourt, all three of their banged-up guards were able to suit up Wednesday night against the Bulls.
