With elite perimeter defense from OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges, the New York Knicks are dominating the Celtics and edging closer to their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years.

The Knicks hung on for an improbable Game 1 win after trailing the Celtics by 20 points with just over 17 minutes remaining in regulation.

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.
