There is no fan base quite like the New York Knicks.
There have been many shocking events during the 2024-2025 NBA playoffs, but nothing quite like what the Knicks have done.
They rallied Wednesday from 20 points down in the third quarter for the second straight game and left a shocked TD Garden with a 91-90 win when Mikal Bridges stole a Jayson Tatum pass in the final seconds of regulation. It was yet another shocking end that had the defending champs reeling.
Now, after these two incredible comebacks in three days, the Knicks are within two games of their first trip to the Eastern Conference finals in a quarter century, with Game 3 set for Saturday.
TD Garden had more than just Celtics fans inside; there were a good number of opposing fans.
New York Knicks fans were so hype about the victory and taking a 2-0 series lead that they just decided to stay much longer than anyone anticipated.
While some fans leave right away, most stay around in hopes of getting autographs from players.

Well, these particular Knicks fans just stuck around to chant more and not leave.
One particular video showed dozens of Knicks fans meeting up with each other to chant near the court. In doing so, one poor arena employee was stressed out.
The lady fell over some chairs as she tried to stop New York Knicks fans from gathering together.
Security arrived but did not deter the fan base from stopping or leaving, despite her cries.
Knicks fans wouldn’t leave the arena after beating the Celtics and had this lady losing her sh*t 😭😭

Can The New York Knicks Sweep The Celtics?
The New York Knicks fought back from a 20-point third-quarter deficit for the second straight game against the Boston Celtics to open up a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
It begs the question of whether the team could sweep the defending champs.
According to the Associated Press, teams that win the first two games of a playoff series on the road advance to the next round 85.7% of the time.
It has been a remarkable start to the series for a Knicks team that finished 10 games back from the No. 1 seed Celtics.
Saturday in Madison Square Garden will tell the full story.
