Hoffman Estates, Ill. - The Windy City Bulls, presented by BMO, the NBA G League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls, fell to the Long Island Nets 123-143 on Thursday afternoon. Windy City forward Kevin Knox II led all scorers with 33 points, shooting 55% from long range.

Despite the loss, Windy City set a new single-game franchise attendance record during its annual Education Day presented by BMO. The Bulls hosted 9,320 fans at the matchup, surpassing the previous franchise high set in March 2025 by over 1,500 fans.

The Bulls shot under 40% from the field in the first half, and the Nets dominated under the basket, outscoring the Bulls by double digits in the paint. 17 first half points from Knox II kept the team within striking distance at the half as the Bulls headed to the locker room down by nine. Windy City began to chip away at the deficit in the third, but the Nets went on an 18-0 run to extend the lead by as much as 27. In the final frame, the Bulls shot a game-best 70% from the field, but the late push was not enough, and the Nets finished with the victory.

Alongside Knox II, Windy City forward Keyshawn Bryant put up a career-high 30 points and grabbed five rebounds. Guard Ryan Woolridge notched the only double-double for Windy City with 16 points and 11 assists. Bulls rookie guard Caleb Grill recorded 14 points, and forward Mouhamadou Gueye came off the bench to notch 13 points.
