The New York Knicks defeated the Chicago Bulls 120-119 in overtime on Sunday to move into the second seed in the NBA Eastern Conference playoff standings. The Knicks leapfrogged the Milwaukee Bucks and lost to the Orlando Magic 113-88.
Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 40 points and seven assists. Donte DiVincenzo played 52 minutes in the final game of the regular season and added 25 points (5-of-14 from 3-point range).
The Bulls were led by DeMar DeRozan's 30 points, but the veteran missed a floater past Precious Achiuwa and DiVincenzo with 2.1 seconds left, almost giving Chicago a one-point lead. Nikola Vucevic scored 29 points and Coby White added 26 points for the Knicks at the final buzzer.
New York will face either the Philadelphia 76ers or the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs, determined by the winner of Wednesday's play-in tournament.
In Sunday's regular season finale, the 76ers defeated the Brooklyn Nets 107-86 and the Heat defeated the Toronto Raptors 118-103.
