Knicks Shock Celtics with Breathtaking Rally

Madison Square Garden has seen its fair share of wild finishes, but what happened on May 7, 2025, will get talked about for years. The New York Knicks looked all but out of Game 2, trailing the Boston Celtics by a crushing 21 points as the fourth quarter ticked away. Thousands of Celtics fans were already smelling victory. But in those final jaw-dropping minutes, the Knicks found a new gear, riding an electric 23-6 run that completely flipped the game on its head. By the final buzzer, the scoreboard read 91-90 for New York—a result that sent shockwaves through the NBA.

Josh Hart, usually known for his grit, played like a superstar. He poured in 23 points, grabbed six boards, and dished three assists. But Hart's real magic showed up in the game's final stretch, including a cool teardrop floater that dropped in with defenders draped over him. Jalen Brunson, New York's floor general, battled through double-teams and relentless pressure to deliver steady leadership down the stretch, while Mitchell Robinson made the moment fans will always remember: an all-ball stop on Jayson Tatum when Boston had a shot to snatch back the win in the closing seconds.

Celtics Collapse as Knicks Flip the Script

Boston had this one in their grasp, controlling the tempo through three quarters as Tatum took over offensively. He couldn't seem to miss, cutting through the Knicks' defense seemingly at will, posting numbers worthy of a star in the playoffs. But when it mattered most, the Celtics just couldn't buy a bucket. For more than eight minutes late in the fourth, the rim seemed sealed shut. The Knicks hounded them, ramped up the defensive intensity, and forced rushed shots, while Boston failed to connect on a single field goal for nearly the entire final quarter.

With the lead shrinking, the Celtics looked rattled—turnovers, missed rotations, and clunky possessions gave New York all the openings they needed. The Garden crowd, flat during Boston's run, exploded as Hart, Brunson, and Robinson chipped away. Key plays included Hart's cool-blooded floater over two defenders and Brunson's drive-and-kick feeds to open shooters. Boston had one last shot—Tatum tried to muscle his way to the rim, but Robinson's length and timing were perfect. Ball game. Knicks fans danced, Celtics players stared in disbelief.

This win doesn't just even the series—it shakes the entire narrative. The Knicks, written off by many after three-and-a-half quarters, now march home with the momentum and all the swagger. The Celtics, meanwhile, head to New York searching for answers after letting a sure victory slip right through their fingers. This playoff battle just got interesting—and no one’s turning away now.
