NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 OG Anunoby scored 31 points, Mitchell Robinson had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the New York Knicks routed the Chicago Bulls 136-96 on Friday night in a game they led by 47 points.<\/p>\n
Anunoby was 9 for 15 from the field, including 7 for 10 from 3-point range, and Robinson made each of his seven shots starting in place of All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns, who did not play because of a right elbow impingement.<\/p>\n
All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson had 17 points and 10 assists to help the Knicks win their second consecutive game after dropping three in a row.<\/p>\n
For New York (50-28), the blowout victory cemented its third consecutive season with at least 50 wins \u2014 a feat the club had not accomplished since the 1991-92 to 1993-94 campaigns. The Knicks lost the 1994 NBA Finals to Houston and were able to surpass the 50-win plateau the following season.<\/p>\n
Collin Sexton had 19 points for the Bulls. They have lost their last six games and 10 of 12.<\/p>\n
New York led 38-16 at the end of the first quarter by taking advantage of Chicago\u2019s offensive struggles as they went on an 18-0 run before Sexton\u2019s 3-pointer cut the Bulls\u2019 deficit to 20-4 with 5:25 remaining in the period. Chicago missed 10 shots and had five turnovers during the woeful stretch.<\/p>\n
New York\u2019s offense overwhelmed the Bulls by outscoring them 40-25 in the second quarter to lead 78-41 at the break.<\/p>\n
Bulls: Host Phoenix on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
