BOSTON — The Knicks went into Boston, as major underdogs, after getting pummeled all during the regular season, and beat the Celtics.
New York showed all season long that it was a resilient group, and that popped up again in the postseason, first in a dogfight series against Detroit and in Game 1 against Boston, coming back from 20 points to win.
It looked like the Celtics would once again run New York out of the building. However, Boston couldn’t make a 3-point shot yet continued to take them. New York turned up its defensive intensity and got some shots to fall late in the game, primarily from Jalen Brunson. The Captain finished with 29 points, the bulk of which came in the fourth quarter.
