Knicks erase another 20-point deficit to beat Celtics

The New York Knicks rallied again from 20 points down to snatch a 91-90 victory over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday and take a 2-0 lead over the defending NBA champions in their Eastern Conference semi-final playoff series.

After rallying from 20 down in a gritty overtime triumph in game one, the Knicks authored another epic comeback.

Mikal Bridges scored all 14 of his points in the fourth quarter for the Knicks and came up with a steal as Boston's Jayson Tatum drove for a potential game-winning basket in the waning seconds.

Josh Hart led the Knicks with 23 points and Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 points and 17 rebounds.
