Josh Giddey Gets Triple Double But Bulls Suffer First Loss Of The Season

The Chicago Bulls suffered their first loss of the season in a 128-116 defeat to the New York Knicks, exposing critical vulnerabilities in their early success. Without Ayo Dosunmu’s infectious energy off the bench, the Bulls abandoned their identity—settling for 40 three-point attempts instead of attacking the paint and playing their trademark physical defense. Haize breaks down how the Knicks’ hot shooting (47% from three) and a glaring free throw discrepancy (22-11) revealed deeper issues beyond the box score.

Josh Giddey recorded another triple-double, but the lack of energy and execution overshadowed individual performances. With Coby White still sidelined and a brutal stretch ahead featuring Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Cleveland, the Bulls face their first real test of resilience. Haize examines the shot charts, defensive breakdowns, and what this loss reveals about Chicago’s ability to maintain their early-season momentum when adversity strikes.

Discover how the Bulls must respond to getting “punched in the face” and whether their 5-1 start was sustainable or a mirage.

    The Bulls absolutely lost their identity in that one stretch in the 2nd quarter. They kept chucking up 3s in order to compete with the Knicks' own 3s. Billy's timeout was a bit too late and when it was over, the next possession was an attack to the paint.

    Don't lose your identity next time Bulls. Don't get swept up by the pace of your opponents and just play your own brand of basketball that makes the whole team better. Hope to see those adjustments next game.

    honestly

    Ayo Dosunmu was the reason bulls lost I am sure they would have easily won if he was playing since he was playing so well lately.

  6. @SirmysticdagodTV

    The Refs deserves the reason for this win! That's just the honest truth. If anyone deny that, they didn't watch the entire game. The officiating were atrocious!

  7. @flockaveli15

    Sucks to lose but not mad at it. Everyone fought hard but can’t win them all. Just watch film make adjustments and get at it Wednesday

  9. @SirmysticdagodTV

    The quick three fouls called on Kevin were suspect. Again, calls from the officiating. How can you win when they get away with Pushing, throwing bows, non calls and bogus calls. It was so bad that it became unwatchable after a while.

  10. @gurujr

    Hurry back Coby and Ayo. When one is out Bulls still have chance. With two out chances are slim and none plus all the home town calls Knicks were already getting. Still, give it to the Knicks it seemed like they couldn't miss from the three point line.

    The quick three fouls called on Kevin were suspect. Again, calls from the officiating. How can you win when they get away with pushing, throwing bows, non calls on them, and bogus calls on the Bulls. It was so bad that it became unwatchable after a while. That's when you know who the NBA is rooting for.. I bet Vegas and the gambling world have something to do with this as well. The integrity of the game is already in question with these new allegations that came to the surface. So i wouldn't be shocked if the referees were told to push the momentum in the Knicks favor since they were projected to be one of the top teams in the East. Cuz that's exactly what they did!

    Yes the bulls were undefeated for the month of October the first five games now reality sets in. 5 and 0 talking about the Jordan era; really?

  19. @pauloles2475

    This is the NBA, call every foul on the Bulls, none on the Knicks to prop up the bockers. Don't care, that was the difference here.

  25. @buzelisfan

    Man, yall gotta chill in the comments lol. It’s 6 of 82, and we weren’t healthy. Vuc tried, Buzi tried, Tre tried, Giddey tried, and P Will tried. It’s hard to beat Knicks twice in a row. Time to focus on winning the next one.

  30. @BadBadger-w5l

    I ain't even mad at this loss, they beat them the first time and eventually ur bound to lose eventually and they lost to a great team that made the ecf and beat them prior, not concerned about this at all, sides giddey said himself to keep a humble attitude and even he knew they would lose eventually but was confident enough to believe they wanna continue to win at all costs hopefully the bulls makes some noise this year

    Dude. Being without the guy that gave you your best perimeter defense, 22 points, and 9 assist from the PREVIOUS game is not something to sneeze at.
