Knicks Triumph Over Bulls in Overtime Thriller at Madison Square Garden
The New York Knicks secured a hard-fought 113-111 overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, marking their third consecutive win. Despite being shorthanded with key players like Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson sidelined, the Knicks rallied behind standout performances from Karl-Anthony Towns and Miles McBride.
Towns, who struggled early with a 2-for-15 shooting start in the first half, finished strong with 32 points and 18 rebounds, including 20 points in the third quarter and six in overtime. This marked his third straight game with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds. McBride, making his first start of the season, contributed a season-high 23 points, six rebounds, and five three-pointers, along with three blocks. Jalen Brunson added 22 points, with 18 coming in the first half.
The Bulls, led by Josh Giddey’s 27 points and 16 rebounds and Nikola Vučević’s 21 points and nine rebounds, pushed the game into overtime after a late surge. However, the Knicks’ defense, highlighted by Mikal Bridges’ crucial block on Vučević at the end of regulation, proved decisive. In overtime, Towns and McBride combined for key baskets to seal the win.
The Knicks improved to 37-18, while the Bulls fell to 22-34. New York now prepares for a challenging road trip against Eastern Conference contenders Cleveland and Boston.
