The New York Knicks pulled off a historic 20-point comeback to win the first game of this series against the Boston Celtics, who are now obligated to win this Game 2 at home.

New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics: Celtics -10

The Celtics, current NBA champions, failed to capitalize on a huge 20-point lead in Game 1 and ended up falling in overtime. However, that may serve as a lesson for the rest of the series. The Celtics’ offense fell apart in the fourth quarter, something that doesn’t usually happen, and considering their playoff experience, it probably won’t happen again. They will learn from the mistakes they made on Monday, and this time they will be able to take a comfortable victory, led by their great duo Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who scored 23 points each in Game 1.

New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics: Under 213

In the first game of the series, it was already demonstrated that defenses are key for both teams, in order to advance to the next round of the playoffs. Both the Celtics and the Knicks have many defensive skills and will know how to give their rival problems, especially the Boston team, which is usually very solid on their side of the court at home, so we expect a game with a final score with few points.

What happened in Game 1 was practically a miracle, something that rarely happens in a playoff series, so we are confident that the Celtics this time will know how to manage the pace of the game and maintain the lead from early on, thus achieving a comfortable victory in front of their fans.
