The Knicks got into the win column for the first time this season by overcoming a 13-point deficit in Tuesday’s home victory against the Detroit Pistons.

A day later, on the back end of a home-road back-to-back, New York overcame a bigger deficit for win No. 2.

This time, the Knicks overcame a 19-point hole on the heels of a second-half surge to defeat the Bulls, 133-127, Wednesday night at United Center.

Mike Brown’s squad initially looked at a 1-4 record to the season following a sluggish start in what appears to be a championship hangover to begin the campaign.

Then, OG Anunoby’s layup with nine minutes left in regulation put the Knicks in front after trailing for most of the matchup.

Jordan Clarkson’s 18 points off the bench after logging a DNP Tuesday helped the Knicks to a double-digit advantage of their own as the game flipped.

And captain Jalen Brunson closed the night with clutch shots in the same state he won a high school title in more than a decade ago.

Brunson led the way with 38 points on 13-of-25 shooting to go with seven assists and two steals.

In one clutch play, he nearly made Bulls guard Norman Powell touch earth on a nasty crossover before draining a 3-pointer in the final moments.

Brunson, the often stoic leader, immediately celebrated the moment after making the basket.

The Bulls managed to get within three in the final seconds of regulation, but Powell failed to get payback with a potential game-tying trey with 10.1 seconds remaining.

Powell led his team with 30 points on 10-of-15 shooting.

His late miss, however, iced the game and improved the Knicks’ record to 2-3.

After a postseason of electric comeback finishes, the Knicks have gotten their first two wins of the title-defending campaign in similar fashion.

And perhaps, the Knicks came away from Wednesday’s matchup with two wins after experiencing a few injury scares as the rest of the NBA can’t seem to shake the injury bug in the opening weeks of the 2026-27 season.

Karl-Anthony Towns suffered a wrist injury as Bulls forward Noa Essengue collided with the Knicks star attempting to run through a screen during the first quarter.

Towns exited at 5:48 mark, then went to the locker room before returning at the 2:18 remaining in the period with the left, non-shooting wrist taped up.

He appeared to favor the wrist immediately following dunks and contested layups, including one instance in the first half after converting an and-1 layup against Chicago’s Jalen Smith.

Then Towns’ leg made contact with Anunoby’s head in the second quarter. He stayed in the game but teammate Landry Shamet had an scare of his own after turning his ankle in the same period.

He limped off to the locker before returning before halftime.

The scares happened with Brown already down Jose Alvarado, who missed his third consecutive game Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Shamet, Towns and Anunoby didn’t miss much time during the comeback win.

The rest of the NBA can’t say the same.

Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, who returned this season after missing the entire 2025-26 campaign due to a ruptured right Achilles, sat out Wednesday’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a strained left hamstring set to keep him out at least two weeks.

Oklahoma City Thunder starters Cason Wallace (labrum) and Jalen Williams (leg) are out indefinitely with significant injuries, posing a threat to the team’s title hopes.

Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards (knee) and Utah’s Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) also are expected to miss extended time this season.

Luckily, no such fate awaited following the Knicks’ trio of injury scares.

Towns battled through foul trouble to log his fifth double-double of the season: 19 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.

Anunoby logged 23 points and six rebounds.

And Shamet contributed 14 points and five assists off the bench.

The Knicks now set their sights for Friday on LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers, who spoiled the Knicks’ ring night on Oct. 20.
