It’s already seen in Boston.
Only two days after the return of the New York Knicks to defeat the Boston Celtics in match 1 of the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference, they started it again, beating the Celtics 91-90 on Wednesday. The Knicks dragged the Celtics 73-53 with less than four minutes for the third quarter, the second consecutive match in which they dragged 20 points in the third. As Monday, a 20-point lead did not discourage the Knicks, who managed a fourth return to win the victory and take the 2-0 lead in the series.
The Knicks finally took the lead at the end of the fourth quarter while the Celtics lasted eight minutes without appropriating on the ground. Jayson Tatum replied with a Dunk, but Jalen Brunson was the victim of a fault and made his two free throws to take the lead from 91-90. Tatum tried to enter the field for the winning basket of the game, but Mikal Bridges offered another defensive clutch stop to win the match for the Knicks.
