Knicks Overcome Fourth Quarter Collapse, Beat Celtics in Double OT

You have to give the Knicks credit—they seem to always be on brand.

Even in victory, the Knicks remained a beautiful chaotic mess in Wednesday's season opener against the Celtics, putting their devoted fans through the wringer in what ended up being a heart-stopping 138–134 win in double overtime.

Before taking care of Boston in the extra periods, the Knicks tried their hardest to squander the game. New York led by 11 points with under four minutes to play and was up by four with nine seconds left before Jaylen Brown hit a three-pointer to cut the lead to one.
