The New York Knicks defeated the Chicago Bulls 133-127 at the United Center on Wednesday, overcoming a 19-point deficit with a 43-31 edge in the fourth quarter. Jalen Brunson scored 38 points, including 14 in the final quarter, leading the Knicks to victory, while Karl-Anthony Towns returned after a wrist injury scare and finished with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Coach Mike Brown joked that Towns was still shooting from 30 feet, so the wrist appeared fine.
The Bulls, now 1-4, showed improved physicality and effort, particularly in rebounding, but fell short against the defending champions. Caleb Wilson scored 20 points and emphasized ongoing development, while Tiago Splitter acknowledged the team competed but fell short in the final quarter. Chicago faces Boston, Philadelphia, and a Knicks rematch in the coming days.
