Not only do the Celtics need to climb out of a 2-0 series deficit, but there's more recent history that they need to overcome.

The Boston Celtics are fading fast in their second-round 2025 NBA playoff series with the New York Knicks. For a second-straight game, the Celtics blew a 20-point lead on Wednesday night at home to lose to New York at the buzzer.

Elsewhere in the West, the Golden State Warriors have a 1-0 lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but they'll be without Stephen Curry for at least the next three games. Curry strained his hamstring in the Game 1 victory. The Wolves will try to even the series on Thursday.
