New York Knicks Up 2-0 After 20-Point Comeback To Steal Game 2 From Celtics

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Knicks win over the Celtics in Game 2.

The New York Knicks secured a thrilling 91-90 victory over the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, taking a commanding 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. For the second consecutive game, the Celtics squandered a 20-point lead, with the Knicks' defense tightening in the fourth quarter to seal the win.

The Knicks' defensive duo, OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges—nicknamed "Wingstop"—played a pivotal role in the comeback. They limited Celtics star Jaylen Brown to zero points in the final period, while Jayson Tatum struggled with a 5-for-19 shooting performance, totaling just 13 points. What’s going on with the Celtics? How bad of a loss is this? What happened to Jayson Tatum? How impressive were Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson?

The Knicks will look to extend their series lead as they head back to New York for Game 3 on Saturday at 3pm.
