The New York Knicks have taken a commanding 2-0 lead against the Boston Celtics in their playoff series, pulling off remarkable comebacks in both games despite falling behind by 20 points. The victories at TD Garden have captivated fans and even drew the attention of New York Giants rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter, who expressed his admiration for the Knicks' performance. Carter, still awaiting his rookie contract worth over $45 million, remarked on the Knicks' incredible run against the defending champions.

However, Knicks fans remain cautiously optimistic, as the Celtics boast a formidable record of 33-8 on the road this season. With their history of nearly overcoming a 3-0 series deficit against the Miami Heat, any glimmer of hope for Boston could be detrimental for the Knicks. Maintaining their focus and not letting up will be crucial as they prepare for Game 3 at Madison Square Garden.
