Towns scored six consecutive points in the final minutes after Chicago took a 95-94 lead with 3:52 remaining. Mikal Bridges added a crucial 3-pointer with 27 seconds left, and Jalen Brunson sealed the victory with two free throws, finishing with 19 points and nine assists.
The loss extends Chicago's losing streak to nine games, their longest since January 2019. The Knicks won despite shooting just 44.7% from the floor, continuing their strong play with a second consecutive victory. The Bulls were missing guards Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons due to injuries, while New York played without center Mitchell Robinson.
