The final seconds were a sweaty, blurry, pulsating rush, and the aftermath was as sweet a sight as there is in New York sports.
This time they were on the road, in as hostile an environment as the NBA allows. This time, they were the ones missing a star. This time, it was the other team, the Celtics, who had something to prove, since they were plenty salty after getting humiliated by the Nets two nights earlier. The Knicks outlasted the Celtics in double-overtime Sunday night at TD Garden.
“It was a huge performance by him,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. “He stepped up, made big plays, big shots, made a lot of great defense.” And on the last play of the game, after consistently getting burned by Boston center Al Horford who had made six 3s because Robinson was constantly helping out in the middle, he managed to sprint out toward Horford in the corner as soon as Jayson Tatum whipped the ball to him.
Sunday, the Knicks had both. They spotted the Celtics a 14-point third-quarter lead then came roaring back to seize an 11-point lead in the fourth. They blew the game at the end of regulation, then redeemed themselves by taking it back at the end of overtime, and doubled down by finally closing the game out. “I’m happy that we found a way to win,” Thibodeau said. “The Celtics have had a great season, they’re a great team, we knew we’d have to be at our best for the entire game.
