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 Boston Celtics blew a 20-point lead and lost Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to Jalen Brunson and the Knicks.

Forward OG Anunoby also helped drive New York to this surprising victory with 29 points of his own, including six 3-pointers, and while All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns had a frustrating offensive outing, he grabbed 13 rebounds.
