"The Chicago Bulls are the lone undefeated team remaining in the Eastern Conference, improving to 5-0 for the first time since the 1996-97 season with a 135-125 victory over the New York Knicks on Friday night. It's only the third time in franchise history the Bulls have started a season this fast, but not since the days of Michael Jordan has Chicago found itself undefeated this late into a season."
""We feel good as a group of where we're at right now, but there's a long way to go," Bulls guard Josh Giddey said after the game. "Every night there's different guys making plays and stepping up. We've got a bunch of guys -- six, seven guys averaging double figures. That kind of speaks volumes to how deep we are as a team and the impact we're getting across the board.""
The Chicago Bulls improved to 5-0, the franchise's fastest start only equaled twice before and the first time since 1996-97 that the team reached five wins without a loss. The undefeated start marks the latest point in a season the Bulls have been perfect since the Michael Jordan era. The team emphasized that the season is long despite the strong start and credited collective depth. Josh Giddey led with a career-high 32 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, including 21 first-half points and four three-pointers. Through five games, Giddey averaged 22 points, eight assists and 8.8 rebounds on 48 percent shooting.
