New York got off to a slow start by scoring only 19 points in the first quarter. The Knicks found a way to get off to a halftime lead thanks to the dynamic play from Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson. Brunson finished with 22 points and 12 assists in the win. Towns finished with 32 points and 18 rebounds along the way as well.

Enter the Chicago Bulls, who are 26th in defensive rating. Towns has absolutely had his way with the Bulls across two meetings this season, scoring a mind-boggling 90 total points.
