Game 6 was a do-or-die one for the Boston Celtics. Having enforced a sixth game with some top-level basketball, the Celtics came in with a 3-2 deficit. Unfortunately, the absence of their key player, Jayson Tatum, proved fatal.
Despite all their resilience, the Celtics were not able to level the series 3-3. After a brutal 81-119 defeat, they bowed out of the tournament with a 2-4 deficit. But that was not all. The Knicks’ fans made the lives of Celtics’ players more miserable.
Soon after the game, the New York Knicks fans were elated. They flocked to the streets within minutes to celebrate their team’s victory. But while doing so, a group of Knicks fans caught hold of the Boston Celtics team bus approaching. And the sight was enough to let all hell break loose!

As soon as the fans spotted the bus, the tension rose. With the Celtics’ players looking on, the Knicks fans met them with significant verbal hostility. In a video that surfaced on the internet, the fans could be seen flipping at the Celtics’ players while mocking them for the loss. Meanwhile, a quick look at the game stats will reveal the amount of dominance the New York Knicks had on the game.
