CHICAGO -- — Coby White made a career-high nine 3-pointers and scored 33 points, Zach LaVine also had 33 and the Chicago Bulls beat the New York Knicks 139-126 after honoring former MVP Derrick Rose on Saturday night.

White hit 9 of 11 from beyond the arc. LaVine delivered his third 30-point outing in the past four games.

Nikola Vucevic added 22 points and 12 rebounds. Josh Giddey had 15 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, helping the Bulls cap off a feel-good day on a winning note.

The team honored Rose, the Chicago product, at halftime after announcing in the morning that he will join Michael Jordan (23), Scottie Pippen (33), Jerry Sloan (4) and Bob Love (10) as the only players whose numbers have been retired by the franchise sometime next season.

Chicago outscored New York by 24 in the third quarter after trailing by nine at halftime, sending the Knicks to their second straight loss after winning nine in a row.

Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 44 points and 16 rebounds. Jalen Brunson scored 33, and Josh Hart added 16 rebounds.
