Evan Fournier fueled the comeback -- the biggest for the Knicks
since they overcame a 26-point deficit to beat the Milwaukee
Bucks on March 14, 2004. He scored a career-high 41 points,

points.
Jayson Tatum scored 13 of the Celtics' final 15 points and
finished with 36 points for the visitors, who lost a
