The Knicks barely escaped the Bulls, pulling out a 113-111 win in overtime. Josh Giddey led the way for Chicago with 27 points and 16 rebounds, while All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns dropped 32 points and 18 rebounds to take the Knicks over the hump.

The veteran scored 44 and 40 points, respectively, across his last two games against the Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers, two defensively deficient teams. 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.
