With the win, the Celtics tie the series up 1-1 before they head to New York. The team would much rather have a 2-0 lead, especially considering how game 1 ended. But at least the team managed to shrug that loss off and secure a win in Game 2. Ideally, they’d like to win both Games 3 and 4 in New York before potentially ending the series back in Boston. We’ll see if they can do just that.
Meanwhile, the Knicks lose, but at least they managed to win one game on the road. The Celtics have one of the deepest rosters in the league, so it won’t be easy beating them in five games. This series could easily get to Game 7, but the important thing for New York is to try and stay one step ahead. We’ll see if they can do so in Games 3 and beyond.
