Knicks Stun Celtics with Dramatic Comeback in Game 1 of Playoffs
In a thrilling overtime matchup, the New York Knicks rallied from a 20-point deficit to defeat the Boston Celtics 108-105 in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs. Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby played pivotal roles in the comeback, with Bridges making crucial plays in the final moments. The Celtics, who set a record for the most missed three-pointers in a playoff game with 45, struggled offensively, particularly Jayson Tatum, facing criticism for their shot selection.
