A lot New York Knicks fans were concerned when it was revealed that Jalen Brunson was sitting out of their game against the Boston Celtics. However, guard Immanuel Quickley has filled in just fine, scoring 28 points in a 131-129 double overtime win in Boston.

In one of the most exciting games of the season, Immanuel Quickley's performance has gotten the attention of many. This is surely a big boost for his sixth man of the year case. The win helps the Knicks keep up with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.

Here are some of the best reactions tonight.

“It's not just that Immanuel Quickley has taken over the game. It's that he's having more fun than a kid on Christmas morning while doing it” wrote @JCMacriNBA.

Here is Quickley scoring his 37th and 38th points, and strutting away to the defensive end.

Some Knicks fans declared Quickley should be the sixth man of the year, as they have been very recently.

Others pointed out his gaudy stat line, that goes beyond just the 38 points he scored.

Some other fans made more concise with their thoughts, but pretty much no Knicks fan was calm on this night.

“Immanuel Quickley's star was born in Boston. Pay that man,” wrote @CPTheFanchise.

“THAT WASNT IMMANUEL QUICKEY TONIGHT. THAT WAS GOD DISGUISED AS IMMANUEL QUICKLEY. LETS F*****G GOOOOO!!!” wrote @Arifromanhattan.

“IMMANUEL QUICKLEY IS YOUR 6TH MAN OF THE YEAR, F**K ALL THE WAY OUT OF HERE” wrote @RyanGarciaESM

There were some good memes from Knicks fans as well.

If you couldn't tell from the fanbase's reaction, this was a massive win for the Knicks. They have won their ninth in a row, they move to 39-27 and remain one game back of the Cavaliers for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. They couldn't have done it without Immanuel Quickley.
