Australian guard Josh Giddey delivered a career performance, scoring a personal-best 32 points while also recording 10 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 135-125 victory over the New York Knicks.

Montenegrin center Nikola Vucevic contributed 26 points in the win as the Bulls continued their strong early-season form.

With the victory, Chicago improved to 5-0, marking its best start to a season in nearly 30 years.

The last time the Bulls began a season this successfully was during the 1996-97 campaign, when they opened with a 12-0 record and ultimately captured the NBA Championship.

Giddey has played 5 seasons for the Thunder and Bulls. He has averaged 14.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 6.1 assists in 285 regular-season games.
