The New York Knicks overcame a 20-point third quarter deficit to stun the Boston Celtics in an 108-105 overtime thriller. 

The Celtics led 72-52 with 6:19 remaining in the third after an Al Horford dunk, but the Knicks closed that quarter on a 23-12 surge to cut the margin to 11. Then they scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter, and eventually tied the game at 86 with 7:21 remaining. 

The teams traded leads from that point and were knotted at 100 with 53.1 seconds left. Each team had a chance to win it in the final seconds of regulation, but Jayson Tatum missed a fade-away and then Jalen Brunson couldn't convert on a great look at the left side of the basket with 2.1 seconds left. 

Despite Brunson's miss, the Knicks were able to carry the momentum into the overtime period and outlasted the Cetlics.
