The Bulls also lead by 22 points in the third quarter, are rebounded until they are overtaken with 4 seconds left by a basket by Jalen Brunson, but a foul by Josh Hart on an attempt from the arc by Coby White gives three free throws to the Bulls guard, who is ice cold from the free throw line giving Chicago a prestigious victory at Madison Square Garden. Brunson’s final attempt in fact does not find the bottom of the net, ruining Karl-Anthony Towns’ great night.
The Dominican signed his best performance in a Knicks jersey with 46 points and 10 rebounds, making 18 of 30 shots attempted including 6/12 from long range, but neither his efforts nor those of Brunson (24 points) and Mikal Bridges (20) were enough for the home team, who were surprised by Zach LaVine’s 31 points and White’s 22 for Chicago, which climbs to sixth place in the conference, while New York drops below 50% of victories (5-6).
