Knicks beat Celtics in double overtime thriller

BOSTON — The streak is so strong it didn’t need Jalen Brunson.

Against an Eastern Conference elite and with an injured Brunson in street clothes, Immanuel Quickley took the reins as the Knicks remained the NBA’s hottest team with another thriller, a 131-129 victory in double overtime Sunday night. Quickley was the hero and Energizer Bunny, scoring a career high 38 points — including seven in the second overtime — while dancing and prancing his way through 55 minutes.

The Knicks (38-27) have won nine in a row, the longest streak in the league. They also won three of their four matchups this season against the Celtics (45-20).
