The New York Knicks are facing off against one of the best statistical offenses in NBA history.
Consecutive 20-point deficits should've been insurmountable.
But not for these Knicks. Not for this team.
The Knicks held Boston without a field goal from the 8:40 mark of the fourth quarter onward until a late Jayson Tatum dunk. The Celtics had 14 consecutive misses.
In that stretch, New York went on a 21-2 run.
Entering the fourth quarter, Mikal Bridges hadn't scored.
In the fourth, he dropped 14 points.

Then late, it was the NBA's voted top clutch player, Jalen Brunson, finishing the job.
Brunson got to the line for the game-winning free throws.
The Celtics had the last shot, but Mikal Bridges snuffed Tatum to make the massive comeback hold up.
It doesn't seem possible.
The Knicks couldn't beat any of the East's best teams during the regular season.
But now, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, they've turned into giant killers.
Twice, on the legendary green court in Boston, the Knicks have stunned the defending champs. Stunned isn't even a strong enough word.
The Knicks have done the truly unbelievable. That word is overused, but not here.
They had no business winning Game 1, and they did from 75-55 down. They had no business winning Game 2, and they did from 73-53 down.
There's still a lot of series left to be played here.
But twice in a row, the Knicks have done the magical, the unthinkable, the legendary.
At this point, heading back to Madison Square Garden for Game 3, these Knicks probably believe they can do anything.
