The Knicks came back from a 20-point deficit for the second straight game to take a 2-0 lead over the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Wednesday night.
New York entered the fourth quarter down 12 points, but outscored Boston 30-17 in the final frame. Jalen Brunson put the Knicks ahead with two free throws and Mikal Bridges – with big help from Mitchell Robinson and OG Anunoby – once again stepped up in the fourth quarter, coming through in the clutch and getting a stop on Jayson Tatum with the clock expiring.
After the Game 2 win, Knicks fans shared their reactions online:
Someone forgot to tell Knicks they couldn’t beat Celtics
