The New York Knicks climbed back into a game that they were down almost 30 points in.

With seconds left, the game was tied at 115 a piece. RJ Barrett got the ball, was double-teamed and threw up a prayer from three.

Nailed it.

Barrett didn’t have the best shooting night, as he only had 13 points, shooting 4-of-15 from the floor, but the last one he made the one that mattered most.

With the win, the Knicks improved to 19-20 on the season.
