Knicks Rally to Win Game 1 Against Celtics 108-105

The New York Knicks staged a dramatic comeback from a 20-point deficit to defeat the Boston Celtics 108-105 in overtime in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby each scored 29 points, leading the Knicks' rally with crucial help from Mikal Bridges and Miles McBride—both praised by Magic Johnson for their key contributions. Bridges was singled out for his defense and a pivotal overtime three-pointer, while McBride added 11 points off the bench, including three three-pointers. The Celtics struggled mightily from beyond the arc, missing an NBA playoff record 45 three-pointers, and lost Kristaps Porzingis at halftime due to illness. Despite Boston's poor shooting and late-game collapse, the Knicks' resilience and balanced team effort were widely credited for the win. The series continues as the Celtics look to recover from this stunning loss.
