Brunson had a potential game-winning shot rim out in the final seconds. If it had gone in, New York likely would have claimed a 102-100 win. Instead, it was pushed to overtime where the Knicks would eventually prevail.

The Knicks came from 20 points down to force overtime and beat the Celtics, who had a terrible night from 3-point land, in Game 1 of their series.

The New York Knicks will never forget their first ... win over the Boston Celtics this season. More clutch antics from Jalen Brunson provided the necessary push to finally get through the Boston barrier: the Knicks erased a 20-point deficit to earn a 108-105 overtime triumph over the defending champion Celtics in the opening game of the regional rivals' Eastern Conference semifinal set.
