The New York Knicks were on their way to a big defeat against the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday night. They were down by 20 points, and nothing seemed to be working.

The New York Knicks came back from a 20-point deficit to upset the Boston Celtics in overtime on Monday, but the win didn't have to be as hard as they made it. The Knicks would have saved some of the effort and overtime heroics if Jalen Brunson made what should've been the game-winning shot at the end of regulation.

With Brunson’s dominant fourth quarter in Game 1, he made NBA playoff history as he became just the third player since 1997-98 to score 75 or more points in the fourth quarter through their first seven games of a postseason run. Brunson joins Stephen Curry, who did so in 2023, and Kobe Bryant, who accomplished it in 2008.
