Knicks-Celtics Game 2 winners and losers: Celtics collapse again as Knicks take 2-0 


For the second game in a row, the Boston Celtics blew a massive lead. And, for the second game in a row, the New York Knicks stunned Boston on its home floor.


Prior to Wednesday night, no team had rallied from 20-point deficits to win consecutive playoff games, but the Knicks made history behind oppressive defense, crisp offensive execution and resourceful play in their 91-90 triumph at the TD Garden.


The Knicks outscored the Celtics by 13 in the fourth quarter and closed the game on an extended 38-17 run to take a commanding 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series, with Game 3 set for Saturday afternoon in Madison Square Garden.
