The New York Knicks faced a disappointing defeat against the Chicago Bulls, losing 139-126 in their second game within two days. The Knicks started strong, leading 72-63 at halftime thanks to Jalen Brunson's impressive 26 points and a solid inside game.
However, a disastrous third quarter saw New York outscored 41-17, allowing Chicago to capitalize with a remarkable shooting performance, particularly from Coby White, who finished with 33 points, including nine three-pointers. Despite Karl-Anthony Towns' stellar fourth quarter, scoring 25 of his game-high 44 points, the Knicks could not close the gap, ultimately succumbing to the Bulls.
