NBA-Play-offs: The second comeback from New York Knicks puts Boston Celtics hanging

After New York had returned 1 out of 20 points in a play of overtime in game, he took the lead in game two until the last two minutes.

“We started slowly, got into a big hole, dug our way outside and then the boys made many hard games,” said Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau.

“[Our players] were best when their best was used on the route. “

Derrick White and Jaylen Brown each scored 20 points for the Celtics, who will travel to New York for the third game on Saturday.

“You made the necessary pieces to win,” said Boston coach Joe Mazzulla about the Knicks.

“We enabled ourselves to do this and we just didn't do the plays.”

The MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the game with 34 points before looking at the fourth from the bank.

“We knew what was at stake tonight,” said Gilgeous-Alexander. “We came out desperately.”

“I didn't see as much as an answer tonight as I was looking at this evening when we were just as we are, and so we were all season,” said Mark Daigneult, coach of Oklahoma City.

After his 42-point performance in the first game, Nikola Jokic from Denver in game scored two only 17 points and eight rebounds before it was in the third quarter.
