Chicago Bulls: NBA TV spot given for Oct. 28 game vs. Knicks
On the night of Oct. 28, the Chicago Bulls are set to face their toughest test at home at the United Center yet in this regular season slate as they get set to take on the longtime Eastern Conference rival New York Knicks. This is the start of a really difficult stretch of games for the Bulls at the end of October and throughout most of November.
Second-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Bulls are mostly set to face playoff teams in the next three or four weeks. In the next few weeks, the Bulls face the likes of the Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, and Brooklyn Nets, among multiple other difficult opponents.
A good portion of those games are set to come on the road too. This won’t be an easy stretch for the Bulls in the coming weeks, and it will really put this team to the test.
The Bulls have faced the New Orleans Pelicans and Toronto Raptors once, and the Detroit Pistons twice so far this season. That’s what led to the Bulls undefeated record through four games thus far.
