New York defeated Chicago 133–127 on October 28 at United Center, the NBA’s final result confirms.

New York took control with a 10–2 fourth-quarter run. Jordan Clarkson began the stretch with a turnaround jumper, and Brunson’s basket put the Knicks ahead 124–114 with 3:45 remaining.

Chicago cut the deficit to 130–127 with 46 seconds left. Norman Powell missed a potential tying three-pointer, and Brunson and OG Anunoby combined for three late free throws.

Anunoby finished with 23 points. Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 19 points and 13 rebounds, Clarkson scored 18, and Landry Shamet added 14.
