The evolution of Josh Giddey as a potent shooter from the three point line is good for him and for the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls have started this season with a 5-0 record, something the team hasn't done since the 1996-97 season when Michael Jordan and the Bulls went on to win the NBA Finals. The Bulls started that season with a 12-game winning streak and finished the regular season with a record of 69-13.

The Bulls and Knicks are meeting for the first of three regular-season matchups after facing each other in the NBA Cup on Friday. Chicago took the series last year, 2-1, and is looking to win in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2011-12 and 2012-13.

Josh Giddey scored a career-high 32 points with 10 rebounds, Nikola Vucevic added 26 points, and the Chicago Bulls beat the New York Knicks 135-125 to get out to their best start in nearly three decades.
