Heroes, zeros and more from the Knicks’ 108-105 Game 1 overtime win over the Cetics on Monday night that put them up 1-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals:

OG Anunoby ignited in the second half and finished with 29 points. He also held Jayson Tatum to just 10 points in the second half and overtime. 

Mitchell Robinson has basically become unplayable, with the Celtics using a hack-a-Robinson strategy to force him to take free throws. He went 3-for-10 from the line in a laughable showing. 

Mikal Bridges was struggling through a nightmarish night, but was pivotal in overtime. He blocked a shot, had a steal that led to an-and-1 dunk by Anunoby to give the Knicks a 3-point lead and hit a clutch 3-pointer to give them a six-point lead.

Then, he had the game-clinching steal to end it in overtime when the Celtics had a chance to tie the game.
