In a surprising turn of events, the New York Knicks have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Boston Celtics. Despite suffering a dismal 0-4 record against Boston in the regular season, the Knicks defied expectations by mounting impressive comebacks in both Games 1 and 2. After trailing by 20 points in each game, the Knicks showcased resilience, with Jalen Brunson hitting crucial shots down the stretch and Mikal Bridges making a timely defensive play to secure Game 2.

Mitchell Robinson's impact was undeniable, finishing with a plus-19 in the box score. For the Celtics, the pressure intensifies as they now head on the road to attempt to reverse their fortunes. The once reigning champions must channel a different energy to avoid going further down in the series.
