Context
From the rows this page already reads
- The Knicks won 136-96 at home against the Bulls, a 40-point win.
- Previous appearance: Mar 31, 2026, 3 days earlier.
- Between the previous appearance and this game, the Knicks played on Apr 1, 2026; Robinson was not in that box score; the data does not say why.
- Earlier regular-season meetings with the Bulls this season: 4 points (Oct 31, 2025), 0 points (Nov 2, 2025).
- The source holds fewer Knicks games than this season has, so season highs, lows and ranks count only the games it holds.
