New York Know
November 5, 2026. Game played November 4 at Madison Square Garden.
Watch: Mike Brown’s postgame press conference on NBA.com.
For the game itself, the league also provides a Knicks 135, Bulls 105 recap. The press conference and the highlights serve different purposes: one preserves the coach’s answers, while the other shows selected game action.
The final margin hides how early the separation happened
New York won by 30, but its lead at halftime was 32. The Knicks scored 43 in the first quarter and 41 in the second; Chicago scored 21 and 31. The resulting halftime score was 84–52. Period-by-period box score
| Segment | Knicks | Bulls | New York’s margin in that segment |
|---|---|---|---|
| First half | 84 | 52 | +32 |
| Second half | 51 | 53 | −2 |
| Full game | 135 | 105 | +30 |
The half totals and margins are our arithmetic from the published quarter scores. They show that New York built the decisive scoreboard advantage before halftime. They do not establish which tactical adjustment caused it, and the second-half comparison alone cannot account for changes in personnel or game situation.
That is useful context for watching Brown’s answers: distinguish explanations of the opening performance from observations about the rest of the game. A final score compresses those two very different halves into a single number.
Make sure it is the right interview

This page links the postgame recording and supplies the scoring context. It does not attribute a tactical explanation or quotation to Brown without a checked transcript. Readers can hear the questions and answers directly in the NBA’s player rather than relying on a short quotation detached from its question.
