The New York Knicks made another huge comeback to defeat the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinals, taking a 2-0 series lead.
After being down as much as 20-points, Mikal Bridges had a huge fourth quarter, ending with a block of Jayson Tatum on the final possession of the game to give the Knicks the 91-90 win.
The series heads to New York for Game 3, scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.
