The New York Knicks (19–20) successfully made their largest comeback of 25 points, since 2004, against their 75-year rival Boston Celtics (18–21) on Thursday at Madison Square Garden, on R.J. Barrett’s desperate last-second bank-shot to win 108–105.

“It was a tough shot, but every time I shoot I think it’s going in,” Barrett said. “Honestly, I didn’t even see it because I fell. I didn’t see it go in, but just by everyone else’s reaction I could tell. So that was cool.”
