There are many good rivalries in the game of Basketball but, none more electric than the Knicks vs the Celtics. In reality any sport that has a playoff involving New York and Boston its going to be a good series.
The Knicks won game one on the back of Jalen Brunson but, with great play from OG, KAT, Bridges all participated but when it came to the big shots it was Brunson and a shocker the Knicks won game one. Stealing the first game knowing that games 3,4 and potentially 6 are in NY. So if they leave with just a split then hey now.
In the second game at TD Garden the Knicks were down and down by over 15+ at time but with great plays from Bridges, OG and KAT and last minute heroics by Brunson and then Bridges stealing the ball again and once again a turn out no one saw coming the Knicks were heading back to the Madison Square Garden up two games. Anyone would tell you if you are the away team and are coming back home where you just have to win 2/3 games to move on to the Conference Championship. Boston isn’t gonna go quietly into the night and neither are the Knicks fans as they took control of TD Garden after the second game win.
Game three happened Saturday at MSG and it wasn’t the turnout Knicks fans would have hoped for as the Knicks got annihilated by the Celtics and their 3pt game. The Celtics proved they have fight and came into the Knicks home and took game 3 but, still have to come back to hostel MSG for game 4. The Knicks still have the chance of putting this away so they don’t have to go back to Boston but, one more loss and it they will have to win one of the final two if it goes to a potential game 7. But one thing is through the first three games is the Knicks may have won the first two games, but they need to take their game up to another level.
