Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals saw the New York Knicks trail the Boston Celtics by 20 points midway through the third quarter. However, a timeout by coach Tom Thibodeau sparked a dramatic shift in momentum. The Knicks went on to outscore the Celtics 55-39 in the second half and ultimately secured a 108-105 overtime victory thanks to a crucial defensive play by Mikal Bridges. Boston's historic struggles from three-point range, hitting only 15 of 60 attempts, aided New York's comeback effort.
In an impressive turnaround, the Knicks were down by 20 points in Game 1 but showcased resilience to outscore the Celtics and secure an overtime victory.
The Celtics set a new NBA playoff record with 60 attempted three-pointers and a postseason record 45 missed threes, contributing to their loss against the Knicks.
