Dave Portnoy is spilling the tea on his close encounter with a Celtics rival.

Down by 14 points in the third quarter of Game 4, the Knicks came roaring back for another improbable, instant-classic victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics.

It was only fitting that Game 2 against the Celtics ended this way for the Knicks, with Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby suffocating Jayson Tatum on the baseline.

Jayson Tatum scored 11 points in the first six minutes of the fourth, including a 3-pointer that gave Boston a 99-98 lead with 7:17 to go. But Bridges hit another jumper the next time down the court, and the Knicks never trailed again. Bridges added another basket with 3:22 left in the game, putting the Knicks up by seven points.

After finding themselves down 0-2, the Boston Celtics now have the chance to tie the series, after an impressive 115-93 win over the New York Knicks in Game 3.

Teams leading 3-1 in the NBA playoffs have won 95.6% of the time, with only 13 teams in 293 tries coming back to win three straight games.

Jalen Brunson led the way for the Knicks once again, ending with 39 points, 12 assists and five rebounds while shooting 14-for-25 from the field. Knicks forward Mikal Bridges also had a great game, finishing with 23 points, seven rebounds, three assists and four steals in the win.

Mikal Bridges scored all of his 14 points in the fourth quarter before making his second straight game-clinching steal, and the New York Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit again to beat the Boston Celtics 91-90 on Wednesday night for a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
