CHICAGO (AP) — Jalen Brunson had 38 points and seven

Towns and Shamet both got banged up in the first half. It looked
as if Towns hurt his left wrist in a collision with Bulls
forward Noa Essengue, and Shamet twisted his right ankle after a
dunk. Both players went to the back before returning to the
game.
Norman Powell scored 30 points for Chicago on 10-for-15
shooting. Caleb Wilson had 20 points and Matas Buzelis finished
with 17, going over 2,000 points for his career.
The Bulls led by as many as 19 points in the second half of
their fourth loss in five games this season.
New York grabbed control with a 10-2 run in the fourth quarter.
Clarkson opened the decisive stretch with a turnaround jumper
and Brunson scored to make it 124-114 with 3:45 remaining.
Chicago closed to 130-127 with 46 seconds left. Powell had a
chance to tie the game on a late 3-point attempt, but he missed
and Brunson and Anunoby combined for three foul shots in the
final seconds for New York.
Jalen Smith had 17 points and 11 rebounds for Chicago, which
shot 18 for 42 from 3-point range.
Tre Jones made a half-court shot at the buzzer to give Chicago a
62-56 halftime lead. Brunson had 16 points for New York at the
break, and Jones was one of five players with nine points for
the Bulls.
