Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, the Thunder showed up for game two. The Denver Nuggets did not. And the Knicks with another huge comeback. We have Jared Weiss to talk about that from outside of TD Garden where there was an evacuation. Good morning, everybody.
Good morning, S. Good morning to everyone in the tri-state area. New York, specifically.
What an insane, another insane night. What do you know? Insane. The second round has been incredibly unpredictable. The Knicks pull off another... 20-point comeback against the Celtics. I want to call it a comeback and not a Celtics-blown lead. It is both, right? But the Knicks have once again manufactured a huge comeback.
We hit the Celtics side of this after the break with Jared Weiss, but before we get to the Thunder just dominating the Nuggets, I wanted to talk about the Knicks side of this because, look, they're now up two games to none in a series that I don't think Most people pick them to win. I mean, they didn't beat anyone all year. And by anyone, I mean OKC, Cleveland, and Boston.
Didn't beat them all year. And now they're up 2-0, have come back from two 20-point victories, and they've done it because of the defense. It isn't because they're outscoring Boston. They've done it because they have gotten key stops every single time they needed to in the clutch.
Yeah, especially in the second half. And what's been surprising to me about the Knicks defense is how willing they've been to switch. Because that was an issue against these teams, against the OKCs and Bostons and New Yorks of the world in the regular season. It was, all right, cool. Those teams are going to hunt out Brunson. They're going to hunt out Cat in the pick and roll.
But now they're sort of living with the consequences of that. They're forcing Brunson to play better defense one-on-one. And... To their credit, the Wingstop guys are doing an incredible job. Mikael Bridges, OG Ananobi, Josh Hart, those guys are pinching in on drives. They're helping in these isolation situations. They're getting deflections. They're getting steals.
