The New York Knicks, for once in their checkered history, live a semi -dick life.
In match 1 of the semi-finals of the East Conference against the Boston Celtics, they overthrew a 20-point deficit to gain extension. In match 2, they accomplished an identical feat, rallying from a 20 -point deficit Again To beat the Celtics 91–90.
While the dust spanned another Knicks victory, goalkeeper Jalen Brunson was almost as long as a word.
“I’m just happy that we have found a way to win,” said Brunson, visibly relieved. “It’s wild stuff here.”
Brunson overturned two free throws with 12.1 seconds to go, and New York striker Mikal Bridges forced Boston Tatum striker in a wandering pass in the last seconds.
“Concentrate on us” 🤞
