The Chicago Bulls narrowly defeated the New York Knicks 124-123 at Madison Square Garden, despite nearly squandering a 22-point lead. The game was intense, culminating in a controversial moment where the NBA's Last Two Minute Report indicated a missed foul call on Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns against Zach LaVine.

This crucial non-call occurred with the score tied, leading to a turnover by LaVine. However, the Bulls managed to secure the victory, with LaVine scoring 31 points and Towns contributing 46 for New York.
