THE QUIETEST MOMENT inside Madison Square Garden during the New York Knicks' 2025 playoff run wasn't when Tyrese Haliburton's shot hovered above the rim in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. It wasn't when Jalen Brunson took an odd step with his troublesome right ankle in New York's playoff opener.
That moment belongs to Game 3 of the Knicks' conference semifinals series against the Boston Celtics, when swaths of Knicks fans politely encouraged each other to stay silent, whispering "Shhh!" as center Mitchell Robinson stepped to the free throw line during the second quarter.
