Celtics’ Playoff Fate Hangs by a Thread: Can They Escape a Shocking Collapse Against the Knicks?
Foot off the Gas
Of course, these clutch situations have only been a problem because the Celtics have blown huge leads. In Game 1, the Celtics led by 16 at halftime only to squander that in the fourth quarter and eventually lose in overtime. In Game 2, the Knicks ended the game on a 23-6 run to win by one point. Both games switched from easy Celtics wins to painful losses in a hurry.
The Knicks deserve a ton of credit for not letting the situations overwhelm them. The team has shown an impressive resiliency in staying composed down the stretch and continuing to run good offense.
