One of the most famous rivalries in the NBA league— the team that nurtured the legendary Michael Jordan against one of the most lucrative franchises in the NBA. Chicago Bulls versus New York Knicks. Would this be the game to reignite the decades-long rivalry of the teams? Do the Bulls still have their 90s finesse or will the Knicks outplay them again? This awaited game is to be held on Friday, October 29, 2021, 8 AM at the United Center in Chicago. April 2021, the Knicks beat the Bulls with a 113-94 score but the Bulls seemed to have upped their game since then, especially with Bulls’ trio, LaVine, Vucevic, and DeRozan. To gauge how this game will p…
