The New York Knicks shocked the Boston Celtics on Monday during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Celtics held a lead over the Knicks for most of the game, at one point reaching a 20-point lead over New York in the third quarter.
The Knicks initially appeared out of the game. The reigning NBA champions, who were favored to win Game 1 in Boston, looked like they were well on their way to victory Monday, if not a relatively swift series win.
