The New York Knicks did it again. After a big-time comeback in Game 1 of the second-round series to steal homecourt, they put a stranglehold on this matchup with a clutch 91-90 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 2.

In a surprising start to the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Boston Celtics find themselves trailing the New York Knicks 2-0 in their series. This comes after the Knicks rallied from 20-point deficits in the first two games to come away with a pair of narrow victories.

BOSTON (AP) — Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis didn’t play in the second half of Boston’s 108-105 overtime loss to the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals because of an illness. Porzingis wasn’t on the floor initially with the team Monday night as they warmed up prior to the start of the second half.
