The Knicks went up against a well-rested Celtics team on Monday night, and found themselves trailing by 16 at halftime. At one point, New York was down by as much as 20 points. However, Jalen Brunson and company stormed back in the second half, outscoring Boston 25-16 in the fourth quarter to force overtime.

BOSTON — The Celtics will be shorthanded for Game 2 against the Knicks, but as expected, it’s not too bad. Kristaps Porzingis was upgraded on the injury report from probable to available due to his illness. Sam Hauser, the lone player unavailable, went from doubtful to out with the right ankle sprain he suffered in Game 2.
