===New York Knicks===
{{Further|Bulls–Knicks rivalry}}
Another franchise that the Bulls have competed fiercely with is the [[New York Knicks]]. The two teams met in the playoffs in four consecutive years (1991–1994) and again in 1996, with the teams' series twice (1992 and 1994) going the full seven games. Their first playoff confrontation, however, came in 1989 when both teams were called "teams on the rise" under [[Michael Jordan]] and [[Patrick Ewing]], respectively (rivalry that started their freshman year in the [[1982 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship Game]] with Jordan hitting the deciding jumper of the final). That first confrontation would belong to Chicago with six games of the Eastern Semifinals. The Bulls won in the first three years (1991–1993) before losing in 1994 but got revenge in 1996. As with Detroit, the historic rivalry between the cities has led to animosity between the teams and occasionally their fans.
