Mikal Bridges scored 33 points and drilled the winning 3-pointer as time expired in overtime to give the New York Knicks a 114-113 victory over the host Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Deni Avdija converted a three-point play with 3.4 seconds left to put Portland ahead by two before the Knicks ran a play for Bridges. He finished off a stellar 13-of-21 shooting effort with the decisive trey.

OG Anunoby recorded 23 points and seven rebounds, Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points and seven boards and Josh Hart contributed 11 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists for the Knicks. Miles “Deuce” McBride also had 11 points as New York won its second straight game.

Scoot Henderson scored 20 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter and overtime for Portland, which lost its fifth straight game.

Avdija registered 27 points and 15 rebounds, Shaedon Sharpe had 21 points and nine boards and Toumani Camara put up 14 points before fouling out for the Trail Blazers, who began a seven-game homestand.

Bridges hit a free-throw-line jumper with 2:50 remaining in the extra session to give New York a 111-110 lead.

The score remained the same until the final seconds as Avdija followed his own miss and put the ball in the hoop. He was fouled and made the free throw to give the Trail Blazers a 113-111 lead.

Earlier, Henderson scored the last five points of regulation, including two free throws with 3.4 seconds left, to force the overtime.

New York shot 46.8 percent from the field, including 12 of 31 (38.7 percent) from 3-point range.

Portland made 44.4 percent of its attempts and was 17 of 42 (40.5 percent) from behind the arc. Jerami Grant (knee) sat out his second straight game.

In regulation, Towns buried two consecutive 3-pointers to give the Knicks a 104-98 lead with 1:17 remaining.

Henderson banked in a 3-pointer with 1:06 remaining to bring Portland within three. After Bridges hit a shot in the lane with 47.4 seconds to play, Henderson converted a three-point play as the Trail Blazers moved within 106-104 with 40.5 seconds left before hitting two tying free throws.

Bridges had 15 first-half points as New York led 48-46 at the break. Avdija and Sharpe each had 14 points in the half for the Trail Blazers.

The contest was tied at 77 entering the fourth quarter.
