After the New York Knicks stunned the reigning champion Boston Celtics with unbelievable comebacks in Games 1 and 2, the Celtics bounced back to the tune of a 22-point victory in Game 3. Despite being down 2-1 in the series, the Celtics have outscored the Knicks by 18 points heading into Game 4.
Prior to the start of this series, common consensus was the Knicks were heavy underdogs against Boston. Even with a 2-1 series lead, it’s hard to imagine a world where the Knicks emerge victorious. After all, it took two insane 20-plus point comebacks in order for them to take two games. That isn’t sustainable over the course of a seven-game series, and given that Boston already dominated New York at Madison Square Garden, the home-court advantage that the Knicks had built up after taking the first two games may not be as big an advantage as we think.
That said, a 3-1 series lead is almost insurmountable. If the Knicks can pull off another upset tonight, they’ll be in the driver’s seat for the remainder of the series. At the same time, should the Knicks drop Game 4, the Celtics will have tied the series, regained home-court advantage, and will have all the momentum heading into Game 5.
