Knicks Make History With Comeback Wins Over Celtics

The New York Knicks made NBA playoff history by overcoming 20-point deficits in consecutive games against the defending champion Boston Celtics, taking a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Mikal Bridges, previously criticized for his high-profile trade, scored all 14 of his points in the fourth quarter of Game 2 and delivered key defensive plays in both wins, earning recognition as one of the NBA’s most clutch defenders. Jalen Brunson contributed crucial points and clutch free throws to seal Game 2, while Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns provided significant support on both ends of the floor. The Celtics, who were favored to win the series, now face considerable pressure as the series moves to Madison Square Garden. The Knicks' resilience and teamwork have distinguished their playoff run, exemplified by their comeback victories. As the series continues, New York has an opportunity to solidify its advantage.
