The Knicks beat the number one winning team in the league the (35-18) Boston Celtics 120-117 in OT.
Grimes dynamic defense on Tatum/Brown was magnificent, the 2nd season Sims vs Robert Williams was a great matchup, and the Knicks 4 bench players (McBride, Quickley, Toppin, Hart) 2-Way lineup performance out scored the Celtics for a 9 pt lead in the first half that made Tatum so frustrated he caught a technical foul for a relentless foul on McBride's pushing the ball in a uptempo transition. And the same Knicks 4 bench players out scored the Celtics in the 2nd half for a Knicks 12 pt lead in the 4th quarter, in which the Knicks starter lineup came on court and lost the Knicks lead by only scoring 4 pts the final 5 minutes of regulation letting the Celtics TIED the score to go to OT.
And RJ Barrett's poor-poor performance throughout regulation hit the winning 3-ball shot in OT to give us the win, when Celtics Brown had the chance to take a one pt lead but missed both FT shots with seconds on the clock forcing the Celtics to Foul.
