Karl-Anthony Towns dominated the closing minutes on Feb. 22, 2026, lifting the New York Knicks to a narrow victory over the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls, described as “lowly,” stayed within striking distance until Towns took control down the stretch, delivering the key plays that allowed New York to pull away. The late burst preserved the win for the Knicks and extended Chicago’s difficulties in a season marked by frequent losses.
The matchup remained tight for much of the night, but Towns’ scoring and presence in the paint proved decisive when it mattered most, ensuring the Knicks avoided an upset and returned home with the result they needed.
