Knicks eliminate Celtics 4-2 in Eastern Conference semifinals
The Boston Celtics, defending NBA champions and heavy favorites, were eliminated from the playoffs after a humiliating 119-81 loss to the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Madison Square Garden. The blowout marked a franchise-record margin for the Knicks and left the Celtics reeling, especially after star Jayson Tatum suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in Game 4. Celtics players, including Jaylen Brown, described the loss as feeling 'like death,' while Kristaps Porzingis, despite battling illness, expressed mixed feelings and praised his former Knicks teammates and fans. The defeat also signaled a likely end to the current Celtics roster due to looming financial constraints, making it probable that multiple rotation players will depart in the offseason. Meanwhile, the Knicks, fueled by standout performances from Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby, advance to the Eastern Conference Finals to face the Indiana Pacers, with both teams seeking their first Finals appearance for many of their stars. The Celtics now face an uncertain future as they regroup from a painful exit and significant injuries.
