The third time's the charm. The New York Knicks finally took down the Chicago Bulls in another dramatic, close showdown against their Eastern Conference rival.

Karl-Anthony Towns posted 32 points and 18 rebounds as the New York Knicks held on for a 113-111 overtime victory over the visiting Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Towns shot just 2-of-15 in the first half but made 12 of his next 15 shots to finish 14-of-30.

It was another strong showing from the Knicks' star big man Karl-Anthony Towns, who had a dominating performance, with 32 points and 18 rebounds in his 43 minutes on the floor, leading the entire game in points and continuing his recent hot hand.

Even with Josh Hart added to the street-clothes crew with a knee injury, they kicked off their final stretch of 28 regular-season games by pulling out a gritty, 113-111, overtime decision.
