But Brunson’s floater about Al Horford did not have the right amount of finesse, and it rattled the edge to force overtime instead of collecting the victory in regulation.
However, the Knicks used their dynamics in the fourth quarter, where they exceeded the Celtics 25-18 in the extension. OG Anunoby, who had an important three-pointer in the regulation for less than two minutes to force overtime, dive and nailed his and a free throw to achieve a 103-100 lead.
Anunoby achieved 29 points in the night with 10 out of 20 from the field, including 6 out of 11 from beyond the arch.
The Knicks pushed their lead to six when Mikal Bridges put down a 23-foot three pointer to shock the amount of the TD garden. Jayson Tatum I would finally put the Celtics into the board in extra time, but the cities made a shot to keep the lead with six remaining at six.

Boston started to feel life again after Jaylen Brown had finally nailed a three pointer to get within three points, but the Celtics couldn’t force more time than bridges brown from an in-depth pass on the summer. Bridges, who played 51 of the 53 minutes on the clock, was the key to stopping Boston in extra time with two blocked shots before theft.
It cannot be overrated how bad the Celtics on Monday evening from a three-point area-and a specialty for this group. In the second half they were cold and finally ended 35.1% as a team from the field.
Tatum was only 7 out of 23, including 4 of 15 out of three. He ended with 23 points, 16 rebounds, six templates and two steals. Brown was only a 1 of 10 out of three, although he went off the field for 23 points 7-of-20 with 8 out of 10 tailor-made free throws.
