NEW YORK CITY — Under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden, and with nothing at stake but an unwavering competitive spirit, the Celtics won their 9th straight road game, a 119-117 overtime thriller over the New York Knicks.
The Celtics rolled out their regular starting lineup despite six players being listed on the injury report and saw everyone suit up except Al Horford, who was ruled out with a knee sprain the day prior.
Jayson Tatum (32 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists) and Kristaps Porzingis (34 points on 8-13 from three) both hit clutch threes down the stretch to secure the victory, Tatum’s coming at the end of regulation and Porzingis’s at the end of overtime.
