4. Bulls vs. Knicks 1992

After finally getting by the Pistons in 1991, en route to their first title, there was a new team who challenged the Bulls both mentally and physically. That team in question was the New York Knicks.

Although the Bulls eventually won the series in seven games, the Knicks had proven that they were a legitimate contender in the eastern conference.
