Knicks Lead Celtics 2-0 After Epic Comeback Win

The New York Knicks staged a second consecutive 20-point comeback to defeat the Boston Celtics 91-90, taking a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Mikal Bridges scored all 14 of his points in the fourth quarter and sealed the win with a game-ending steal from Jayson Tatum, echoing his decisive play in Game 1. Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 23 and 21 points respectively, while Jalen Brunson contributed 17 points and crucial late-game free throws. The Celtics, despite strong starts and double-digit leads, struggled offensively in the latter stages, going over eight minutes without a field goal in the fourth quarter and missing 14 straight shots. Boston's Jaylen Brown and Derrick White each scored 20 points, but the team faltered under pressure, prompting criticism and reflection on their execution down the stretch. The Knicks now return home for Game 3 in a commanding position, having twice capitalized on Boston's late-game collapses.
