During the Bulls' record-setting 1995–96 season, they faced their worst defeat of the year against the Knicks, losing 102–74 in March. However, just two months later, the Bulls triumphed over the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, winning the series in five games. During the Bulls' second three-peat, they encountered the Knicks in the playoffs only once, in 1996, when the Bulls emerged victorious. This era also saw other Eastern Conference teams like the Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, and Miami Heat rise as significant contenders. Each of these teams had their own intense playoff battles with either the Bulls or the Knicks.
