Game review
What happened
The Knicks beat the Bulls 133–127 on the road. Jalen Brunson led them with 38 points and 7 assists, making 6 of 10 threes, and OG Anunoby added 23. For the Bulls, Norman Powell had 30 points.
What the model got right
The model gave the Knicks a 71% chance on the road, mainly because of rest and form, with the teams rated almost level (90.0 to 90.2), and they won by 6. Recent form pointed the same way: the Knicks had been winning by 6.1 points a game, the Bulls losing by 11.8.
What didn't work
Not much went against the model in this one. Norman Powell's 30 points for the Bulls weren't enough to change the result.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, rest and form. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 71%, about 3 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
