We probably should've always seen the Boston Celtics responding like champions in Saturday afternoon's 115-93 road win over the New York Knicks.
There was simply very little possibility the Celtics wouldn't play with tremendous focus and desperation after blowing two straight 20-plus-point leads at home to fall behind 0-2 in this second-round playoff series. As easy as it is to make fun of the Celtics and pick at their flaws (and it is, indeed, very easy), they were always going to come ready to deliver a haymaker. After seeing how road teams have thrived during this NBA postseason, it would've been naive to assert anything else.
