Knicks Rally Past Celtics 108-105 in Game 1 OT

The New York Knicks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Boston Celtics 108-105 in overtime, overcoming a 20-point second-half deficit and seizing home-court advantage in their playoff series. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby each scored 29 points, with Brunson delivering 20 points after halftime and Anunoby hitting several key threes. Mikal Bridges made a crucial steal in the final moments of overtime, helping secure the win, while Josh Hart contributed a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. The Celtics, despite being favored and leading for much of the game, struggled with poor shooting, missing an NBA playoff record 45 three-point attempts and seeing stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combine for inefficient performances. Kristaps Porzingis exited early due to illness, further hampering Boston. The Knicks' win marks their first over the Celtics this season and extends their road playoff winning streak to four games, tying a franchise record.
