One more dub, and it’s on, baby. The Knicks did it. The Knicks defeated the reigning champs, inside Madison Square Garden, in a second-round series in which they were the clear-cut underdogs.

Brunson and Bridges become the Batman and Robin of Clutchness in the fourth game of the semis. Through the first half of tonight’s Game Four, spicy shooting (12-of-24 from deep), a lopsided whistle, and a defensive answer to every push by the New York Knicks (3-1) gave the Boston Celtics (1-3) a 62-51 halftime advantage. Boston’s 14-point third-quarter lead was wiped out by Jalen...

The Knicks can’t rely on their opponent’s cold shooting to win this series. How can they put more points on the board? Eventually, the Celtics were going to make shots. What happened in Game 3 wasn’t surprising. The Knicks had a poor defensive game plan in the first half, and the Celtics finally made their shots. In the end, it really didn’t matter what the Knicks did on offense, with...

David Butler II-Imagn Images Haters gonna hate. Let’s get this out of the way because it’s very clear. Neither, and I repeat, NEITHER team has played even close to their best basketball this series. The Celtics look nothing like the team that finished the season as one of the two or three hottest teams in the league and look even less like the team that took home the Larry O’Brien...

When I looked ahead to the Knicks ’ second-round matchup against the Celtics , I could not have seen any of this coming. I did think that the Knicks could surprise people by keeping the games closer than their regular season record against the Celtics would’ve suggested. But I admittedly had the Celtics ultimately winning in a hard-fought five-game series. While it’s just been two games, and...

While the data says yes, the eye test says no-ish. How would you have reacted if someone told you on Monday morning that the Knicks would be heading back to the one true Garden on Saturday with a 2-0 series lead? What if they told you the Knicks were down by 20 in both games and won? You’d probably be completely and totally stunned, as would I. The Knicks got dominated by the Celtics ...
