It happened again. The Celtics led by 20 points in the second half, but the Knicks overcame the deficit and won 91-90.
The Knicks lead the series 2-0 as it shifts to New York for Games 3 and 4. Game 2 was ugly as the Celtics missed 30 three-pointers and shot just 36.2% from the field. New York wasn’t much better, scoring just 13 in the first quarter and 41 in the first half.
The box score rarely tells the full story, but it gives a glimpse into the madness. Josh Hart led the Knicks in scoring with 23 points, while Derrick White and Jaylen Brown each had 20 points for Boston.
Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brunson both struggled from the field, shooting 5-of-19 and 6-of-19, respectively.
Mikal Bridges was the hero, again, as he came up with a clutch steal in the final seconds of the game. He finished with 14 points, all of which came in the fourth quarter.
Game 3 is a pivotal game for both teams. The Celtics look to avoid a 3-0 deficit, while the Knicks attempt to keep pressure on Boston.
