Look at Mikal Bridges again! I’ll be honest, I had Celtics in 5, tops. The Knicks going into Boston and coming back from double-digit deficits against the defending champs TWICE is damn impressive. These playoffs have been incredible so far – 9:25 PM

New York steals (Mikal Bridges literally) Game 1 from Boston in overtime thriller
The Celtics took 60 3-pointers and missed a playoff record 45 of them. Meanwhile, the Knicks were again the picture of resilience, with 29 each from Brunson and OG.

Mikal Bridges didn’t need to look up, only forward.

Fantastic Game 1. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby were great, and Mikal Bridges made some huge plays in OT despite a poor shooting night. Knicks really couldn’t afford to lose The One Where The Celtics Shoot 25% From 3, but we’ve got a series! – 9:51 PM

More on this storyline
Ian Begley: For 2nd straight game, Mikal Bridges seals a Knick win in BOS with a steal. Knicks again come back from 20 down to beat BOS, take a 2-0 lead in 2nd round series. Boston was 5 for 24 in the fourth and had one field goal in the final 8 minutes. NYK was down 20 w/2:18 left in 3rd -via x.com / May 7, 2025
Bobby Manning: Towns, Hart & Bridges just talked in the #Knicks locker room, and there was some cautiousness among them in celebrating getting the #Celtics to settle. They agreed that C’s are dangerous putting up 60 threes, and thought they missed some. Wasn’t intentional trying to force those -via Twitter @RealBobManning / May 5, 2025
Fred Katz: Mikal Bridges with an unbelievable defensive play to win the game for the Knicks. Just tore the basketball away from Jaylen Brown and the Knicks with nothing short of a miraculous Game 1 win in Boston, coming bak from down 20 to win 108-105 in OT. -via x.com / May 5, 2025
