In the ancient theater of playoff basketball, where momentum and will collide as much as strategy and skill, the New York Knicks entered Boston Garden on Monday night as underdogs staring into a 20-point abyss — and chose not to fall. Led by Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby, each scoring 29 points, New York clawed back through the fourth quarter and overtime to claim a 108-105 victory in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. It was the kind of win that doesn't just change a scoreboard — it changes what a team believes about itself.
