Karl-Anthony Towns recorded his NBA-leading 39th double-double with 28 points and 11 rebounds, helping the New York Knicks defeat the Chicago Bulls 105-99 on Sunday night. The Knicks secured their second consecutive victory despite overcoming an 18-point deficit earlier in the week against Houston.
Jalen Brunson added 19 points and nine assists for New York, while Mikal Bridges hit a crucial 3-pointer with 27 seconds remaining. The loss extended Chicago's losing streak to nine games, their longest since January 2019. The Bulls were missing guards Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons due to injuries, while the Knicks played without center Mitchell Robinson.
