The Boston Celtics dropped a third straight game Thursday night, losing to the visiting New York Knicks in overtime 120-117. Two consecutive misses at the free throw line from Jaylen Brown with just moments remaining on the clock ultimately doomed the Celtics. Boston’s next game is against LeBron James and the archrival Los Angeles Lakers this weekend.
The stars really came to play in this one, with Boston’s best just a step behind New York’s Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. Randle finished with 37 points and 9 rebounds, while Brunson had 29 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and a game-saving block at the horn.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown weren’t exactly chopped liver.
