Jalen Brunson needs to play 10 more minutes tonight to be eligible to be voted All-NBA for the second season in a row. He would be the first #Knicks Guard to do that since Walt "Clyde" Frazier.

Jalen Brunson, Deuce McBride, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges were a combined 6 for 7 from Three in the first quarter.

Mitchell Robinson played all 12 minutes of the first quarter, and had 5 Points, 3 Rebounds and 1 Steal. #Knicks lead 39-24 after 1.

Mitchell Robinson already with a dunk and 2 offensive rebounds in his first game of the season against the #Cavs. 2 years ago in the playoffs, Robinson averaged 5.8 Offensive Reblunds Per Game against Cleveland, including 11 in the series-clinching win.

#Pistons fans LOVE Isaiah Stewart... Either that or they're all scared of him! They really love this team.

The #Knicks fill-in starters, Deuce McBride and Precious Achiuwa, are the first two into double figure scoring.

Josh Hart is not allowing ANY easy layups tonight.

#Knicks score their first point of overtime on a KAT free throw with 2:28 left.

The #Celtics are now locked into the 2-seed, with Cleveland's win tonight. If the #Knicks can come back and win, they will be locked into the 3-seed.

The #Celtics went on an 8-0 run in 1:30 at the end of the second quarter and have now started the 3rd quarter on an 8-0 run over 1:32. #Knicks have led most of the night but now trail 60-58.

A much better start for the #Knicks tonight against the #Celtics. In their previous three first quarters against Boston, they were outscored by an average of 17 points. Tonight, they hold a 30-27 lead after one.

Welcome back, Jalen Brunson with the clutch 3!

Another 30-point game for OG Anunoby, his 5th of the season, extending his career high.

#Knicks having a little trouble getting to the finish line. Since their took an 89-70 lead early in the 4th, they have been outscored 13-4.

In Jalen Brunson's return, the three #Knicks who carried the offensive load in his absence continue to do so. OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges have made a combined 63% of their shots so far tonight.

Karl-Anthony Towns has 17 Points and 10 Rebounds here in the third quarter. It's his 56th Double-Double and for the moment, it pulls him into a tie with Nikola Jokic for second-most in the #NBA (although Jokic is also playing now and could get his 57th).
