The Boston Celtics secured a pivotal 115-93 victory against the New York Knicks, creating a renewed sense of hope in the Eastern Conference semifinals after facing a 2-0 deficit. Key players like Jaylen Brown emphasized the importance of resilience, noting that it takes four wins to finish a series, while teammate Payton Pritchard expressed confidence in their competitive spirit despite the series' rough start. Historically, the Celtics are tough competitors in playoff series, having not lost four straight games since 2021, indicating their potential for a comeback in this matchup.
After the game, Celtics star Jaylen Brown provided some perspective on how the series started: "You have to beat us four times. That's what it comes down to... So it's a lot of basketball to be played."
The last time Boston lost four out of seven games in one stretch was the 2023 Eastern Conference finals, where it lost to the Heat in Game 7.
In fact, Payton Pritchard embraced that opportunity: "You wouldn't want to be in any other position as a competitor. This is the best moment you can be in, down 2-0."
