The New York Knicks felt it was very good to be back from a 20-point deficit in Game 1 against the Boston Celtics and decided to do it again at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
If Game 1 wasn't shocking enough, Game 2 offered another fourth quarter thriller, bringing the 91-90 Knicks victory, where he came back from the 20-point hole and took advantage of the Celtics' icy shooting performance.
Now, the series heads to New York this weekend. The Knicks own the lead of the Best of Seven Series of Command, which no one will come.

But that was the result of Boston not shooting a shot from the floor in the fourth quarter since the remaining three pointers at 8:40 to the game in the fourth quarter. Yes, over 8 minutes, the Celtics couldn't get it, despite getting a wide open look.
Meanwhile, this one defensive hero, Mikal Bridges, scored 14 quarter points to help the Knicks comeback. However, Jalen Brunson's stepback two pointer via Jrue Holiday gave the Knicks their first lead since OG Anunoby opened and started the game.

The 87-86 Knicks' lead appeared on a two-minute mark, and both teams knew it would be wired again. With a clock of 18.1 seconds, Jason Tatum ran to the shore, weaving around the Knicks and knocking home a dunk that gave Boston a mere 90-89 margin.
However, on the other end, Branson was fouled on the holiday and had two free throws to get the lead back. He nailed both, which fell on another defensive property in New York. For Boston, they simply wanted one of their stars to come and save the victory.

However, Tatum met multiple Knicks as he tried to make a path towards the hoop, and when he stood up for the baseline jumper, Bridges surprised him with his long wingspan and snatched the ball to win.
Bridges did about the same thing in Game 1. He snatched a pass from Jalen Brown to turn the victory into ice.
The Knicks certainly didn't have the best offensive performances, especially Branson compared to his usual production. He scored 17 points in six-nineteenth shooting from the field, with New York shooting 43% and 29% from Deep as a team.

However, Boston spent another rough night at an offensive end, hitting only 10 of his 40 three-point attempts. They missed 45 in Game 1 and now adds another 30 to the series total. As a team, the Celtics shot just 36.2% off the field.
Game 3 will be on Saturday at Madison Square Garden with a tip-off at 3:30pm ET.
