Isaiah Hartenstein scored 16 points and pulled down eight rebounds. The Knicks’ offseason addition Jalen Brunson had 15 points, six rebounds, and nine assists.

In the final seconds of the game, Reddish hit a three in the corner to tie the game at 108.

In overtime, the Grizzles took a 115-112 lead with a Tyus Jones three with 47.8 seconds left. Evan Fournier had a chance to send the game to second overtime but missed the three as time expired.
“There’s a lot to build off of,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. “What I want them to see is that it’s one or two plays here or three. That’s the difference between winning and losing.”
Thibodeau added that he loved the fight they had, was not pleased with the fact that they dug themselves into a hole but loved that they fought back.
RJ Barrett did not have a good game with 11 points, shooting 3 for 18 from the field. In games like this, they will need Barrett to show up.
The Knicks’ next game will be Friday a home opener against the Detroit Pistons.
