Celtics fall to Knicks 131-129 in grueling double OT thriller

Boston pushed New York to double OT, but in the end the Celtics couldn’t come up with a win.

The Boston Celtics fell to the New York Knicks in a double overtime rock fight at TD Garden this past Sunday night, coming up short for all their effort to lose 131-129. Boston now moves to 49-20 on the season with a game in Cleveland tomorrow night.

A week ago Boston laid an egg against the Knicks in New York. It was an ugly loss for the Celtics and featured Jayson Tatum’s first career ejection as a pro. The game tonight may arguably be more frustrating for the Celts. This was Boston’s tenth overtime game of the season, one shy of the NBA record.

The Celtics now move to 4-6 in such games. Here’s what you may have missed from Sunday’s action.
