The Boston Celtics are fading fast in their second-round 2025 NBA playoff series with the New York Knicks.
For a second-straight game, the Celtics blew a 20-point lead on Wednesday night at home to lose to New York at the buzzer. New York forward Mikal Bridges’ clutch steals have capped those incredible Knicks comebacks, putting his team ahead with a 2-0 series lead against Boston.
What’s worse for the Celtics is that both of these losses came at TD Garden, and now Boston will have to play the next two games on the road at Madison Square Garden in front of a proudly raucous New York crowd.
It’s always tough to blow leads like this, but it’s also the Celtics we’re talking about. NBA fans had no problem clowning the defending champs for their recent streak of misfortunes.
As we see time and time again, blowing a lead will bring out the trolling.
