Before the game

Spoiler-free context

New York's turbulent lockout season had moved from Linsanity to a coaching change and renewed dependence on Carmelo Anthony. Chicago arrived with the league's best record despite Derrick Rose only recently returning from injury.

  • The Knicks were fighting to remain in the Eastern playoff field, while the Bulls were pursuing the conference's top seed.
  • Anthony had spent much of the season criticized for the offense's stagnation and needed a signature performance in the team's new configuration.
