The old rope a dope, let them score so we can score last play and finish them off with wingstop!

Good call

WOW just WOW --- everyone played a part.

Notice bench Mitch/Deuce/Cam was a +32 and starters a combined -27.

Despite his FT adventures Mitch was a major obstacle for Celtics -- no blocked shots but they know where he is.

Kudos to Kat/Mitch - even Jalen for holding up on the perimeter defensive switches.

Mikal - what a 4th. OG.Josh with the grit. Kat getting us going early and 17 boards - solid D again.

Nope. As miraculous as game 1 was -- this felt bigger --- one of the most unlikely wins I can ever remember for Knicks.

No stars --- but EVERYONE doing something to pull it out.

Down -16 with ~8 minutes left.

Go on 21-2 run to take 3 point lead with just over 1 minute left. Zero FGs for Boston in that stretch.

Tatum gets 2 foul shots with 40 seconds left and gets his dunk with under 20 left.

1 FG in last 8 minutes if I've got that right.

Og and bridges have to lock in on D first and foremost. Slow down Tatum and Brown. That’s the top objective w nothing close. Then play full48 like your life depends on it.

Pacers were getting manhandled yesterday and then cavs fell apart in the last minute. We were getting killed in the first half particularly the second quarter then turned it around

We should not be content that we stole one. There’s no reason to think for a moment we can’t win this one.

I want another ****ing cookie or cupcake!

Brunson - who has missed quite a few FTs this year.

Knocks down 2 with 12.7 seconds left to put us up 1.

Phew!!!

That last Boston possession....WOW.

- Mitch/OG both wrestling with Horford at foul line --- Mitch is forced to step out to guard Tatum at the 3 point line and he holds up.
- Tatum drives with Mitch on his side, OG wrestling with Horford as he dives to the rim.
- as Tatum nears the baseline OG switches out to contest hard
- as Tatum rises OG is extended and Mikal swooshes in with the go go gadget arms for the steal

Thing of beauty --- something we all envisioned (Mitch/OG/Mikal) getting stops late in game but we just hadn't seen it until lately.

Mitch +32 in series
Josh had a huge game.
KAT tough underneath
Bridges was key with offensive run in 4th
Brunson with more big game shots.

Great win.
Awesome deja vu!!

this was absolutely key stretch. they had no one out there who could score, and Mikal stepped up during that stretch and hit nearly everything. Without that we would have been crushed

SO TRUE - the entire year something was missing (we were finesse/soft) and bingo we found something.

My pessimistic side says never underestimate the heart of a champion --- so 2 more to go BUT just miraculous wins.

wow... just wow. Boston really choked. Like we forced them to get tough and they phucking wilted. Wild. Just wild. I thought the offensive foul on the OG dunk was a real momentum stealer.

What a squad. Mitch and McBride doing Mitch and McBride things. Phuck. I would have been thrilled with a split before this started. We have a plan. We have a plan B. We have a plan C. They have a plan A, more plan A and some frantic plan A.

These end of game possessions remind me of techmo football when you pick the right play and like no matter what it's getting blown up

Wow. Not getting ahead of myself. Boston gets hot and starts hitting shots and they are back in it. One game at a time. WOW

Tonight was the epitome of a TEAM WIN. I didn't see any stars but different guys just making key plays on both ends.

Looking at box score and good ole FT Mitch was +19 and next closest guy was Deuce at +9.

Bridges is getting the credit but that final possession was a masterclass between Mitch and OG and the switch and eventual swarm on Tatum.
