We’re just two days into the season and already the Knicks and Celtics have treated us to an absolute classic, with New York beating Boston 138-134 in a double-overtime at Madison Square Garden.
Jaylen Brown was spectacular in defeat with a career-high 46 points to go along with 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Julius Randle went off for 35 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists for the Knicks, while Evan Fournier had 32 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals.
Here’s how the NBA world reacted to what was a wild night at MSG:
