The Knicks secured their second straight victory behind Towns' performance while dealing the Bulls their ninth straight loss, their longest skid since January 2019. Jalen Brunson added 19 points and nine assists, and Mikal Bridges hit a crucial 3-pointer with 27 seconds left to seal the win.
The Knicks overcame an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win their second game in a row, while Chicago played without injured guards Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons, both acquired at the trade deadline.
