The New York Knicks erased a 20-point deficit in the middle of the third quarter to force overtime and eventually beat the Boston Celtics on Monday.

Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks will face the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of this second-round NBA Playoffs matchup on Monday at the TD Garden.

For New York, Brunson is playing through a sore ankle (which appeared to limit him at times in the final game, except in the clutch), and Josh Hart has a wrist issue. While both teams are not at 100%, injuries are not what will decide this series. —Kurt Helin, NBC Sports lead NBA writer
