How to watch Knicks vs. Celtics Game 2 for free: Time, live streaming

A thrilling overtime paved the way for the underdog New York Knicks to take a 1-0 series lead over the defending champion Boston Celtics in the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

In the third quarter of Game 1, the Knicks trailed the Celtics by 20 points; a furious rally led to a comeback and the eventual overtime winner. They’re making it something of a habit in this postseason to thrive in situations where they’re in a major point deficit.

The Knicks didn’t enter this series as the bettors favorite to win it; in fact, not many gave the team a chance in Game 1. Even after that game’s outcome, the Celtics are still a 10.5 point favorite in tonight’s Game 2.

Can the Knicks follow that OT thriller up with another win to bring the series home with a 2-0 lead? Only time will tell, but the series against the defending champs will continue to be a test for these Knicks.
