When Josh Hart finished inside to put the Knicks up 3 with 11.9 seconds left, and with Madison Square Garden bumping, the Knicks faithful started to naively believe this might finally be their moment in the sun against the Celtics.
Jayson Tatum, however, had other ideas. Tatum swerved around a Kristaps Porzingis screen, faked to the basket, then stepped back and buried a massive game-tying 3 over OG Anunoby with 2.9 seconds left.
“Goooood!” Kevin Harlan bellowed. “Got it!” Somewhere, Mike Gorman nods approvingly.
BRUNSON TO HART.
TATUM THREE FOR THE TIE.
