How would you have reacted if someone told you on Monday morning that the Knicks would be heading back to the one true Garden on Saturday with a 2-0 series lead?
What if they told you the Knicks were down by 20 in both games and won?
You’d probably be completely and totally stunned, as would I. The Knicks got dominated by the Celtics repeatedly in the regular season, were massive underdogs, and writers in this own blog were skeptical of how competitive they’d be.
As for the comebacks, they hadn’t come back from 20 down all season.
