The New York Knicks won for the second time in Boston, 91-90, and took a commanding 2-0 lead in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. They battled back from a 20-point deficit and won on a Mikal Bridges stop for the second consecutive game.
Just like Game 1, New York started slow and Boston took a double-digit lead with a second-quarter run. The Celtics pushed that lead to 20 points with less than five minutes to go in the third quarter. Then, the Knicks staged their comeback with spectacular defense and impeccable shotmaking.
The Celtics attacked the interior of the defense early, with success. But the Knicks’ help defenders forced Boston to fall back to three-point shooting ways in the second half. When Boston went cold, New York made its run.
This is Deja Vu like a Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz anthem, but with even more euphoric energy outside Madison Square Garden. Let’s check out the victory.
