00:00Another New York turnover sloppy turnovers by New York couple in the backcourt and one right there as they were trying to attack
00:07Eight of them. It's an unforced error here by
00:12Brunson who's so good in terms of not turning the ball over
00:19Brunson is on Brown Brown will make the move Hart will lean in White is outside
00:30With a whistle and 332 to play in the second
00:35Josh Hart picks up his second quick one
00:39Guy who brings non-stop energy to the Knicks
00:46Look at the pump fake here by white
00:49Why did the five threes in game one he was
01:01Consistent shooter in a very
01:04Non-consistent three-point shooting display tomorrow
01:07On TNT Golden State will take on Minnesota that is a game two from the Twin Cities
01:12830 Eastern that ESPN on Friday Cleveland will be in Indianapolis and Oklahoma City will be in Denver and
01:20For more on these games go to nba.com or visit the NBA app. Can can we find out and poll those hundred?
01:29Players who said Tyrese Halliburton
01:31Was overrated. We need to go back and find out which players it is served as motivation as it at the end of the bench who were probably part of that poll
01:39Because we need to look at their contracts
01:41Because we need to look at their contracts
01:44Boston from the line tonight four of six they were number 30 they were dead last in the regular season
01:51In free throws attempted and made
01:536-0 run here by Boston
01:56To increase the lead to 13
01:58Towns with 14 brown with 16 to 2 leading scorers and they'll be driving into a flicker defenders
02:10Has it back on town
02:12Fratching at him out there will be tater heart in the corner at 15 foot
02:17And the Celtics have their biggest lead
02:32Heart goes down and white will pick it up
02:38Clock at 255
02:41With the Celtics enjoying their biggest lead in game two on TNT
02:4716 point Celtic lead game two let's take a look at our google search trends
02:57And a lot of it
02:59Is on jason tatum
03:01Who missed his last six threes in game one he's missed his one triple tonight
03:08He was 4 of 15
03:10In game one
03:12Again the Celtics took 60 made 15 in the regular season
03:18Boston averaged 48 three-point attempts a game against orlando
03:23Only 31
03:24And how quickly boston fans forget you and I were here opening night between these two teams
03:32And boston went 29
03:35For 61 in that game they were a plus 54 from the three-point line
03:40So you've got to take the good
03:42And the bad with this team because that's how they want a championship
03:46Was high volume three-point shooting
03:49Why did picked up his first foul this heart was at the free throw line
03:53Coming into tonight's game with heart on the floor
03:56In these playoffs first round against detroit now this one against boston plus 43
04:03Terrific plus minus series of moves from brown
04:07Cornette taps it out it's off of boston new york's ball
04:13And you just wonder just looking at tatum
04:16Right now he's
04:19Seven for 30
04:22Currently in these two games in terms of shooting the basketball you're wondering if that hand has given him a little bit of problem
04:28Where he missed game two and then a land of series it was a wrist you're exactly right hard inside in front good feed
04:35With great proximity and he's got a quick nine for the next and again had 14 in game one
04:44Trying to go at brunson down low with brown it's a three by white
04:48Oh
04:49And a diving attempted rebound inside by hart he and the ball out of bounds it'll be boston's ball
04:57Josh hart can't believe it he's like i had the inside position what about the guy diving in over my back just a fabulous player for tom thibodeau
05:07Former boston assistant under doc rivers here's brown
05:12Cornette a screen driving right into carl anthony towns
05:17And a rebound by anthony uh carl anthony towns and it'll be the other way he will hammer it home
05:23With a great feed and now it's a 10 point deficit after being
05:29Down by 16 and the knicks back on defense and a six nothing run by new york
05:34White will swerve and drive and look to feed it was knocked away it's off of new york and shot clock at seven
05:46Man these officials are letting them play and the thing about it it's going both ways
05:51It's been contact against the knicks at one end i felt towns got fouled a couple times and right there derrick white on that drive
06:00Felt contact holiday has it and bridges is defending
06:03A kick straight and got that is a foul
06:07Holliday makes it go
06:09In the post holiday just kind of moves that right arm out of the way from bridges
06:20That's what the official saw last the contact
06:23And a chance for holiday in a three-point play so the backcourt reggie of boston
06:29Holliday and white the starters 21 points bridges and brunson just four
06:46White is on bridges
06:50He'll make a move on tatum with cornet in the way out
06:54To
06:56Brunson who hits the three after some maneuvering and incredible patience to let that play develop in the defense to subside
07:05and as
07:06Great as brunson is to me the footwork
07:09separates him from a lot of great players
07:13Tenacious defense on the perimeter there by the knicks out of bounds it goes shot clock is at 10
07:19Look at the footwork here by brunson little pump fake there goes holiday
07:24Resets feet together never rushes right never rushes
07:30White
07:36Holiday rebates still biology it's anninobi gets it off to brunson who takes it the other way racing
07:43With a half minute to go in the first half
07:45He'll make a move white will follow her heart is on top
07:55Towns sheds tater
07:58Spoon feeds heart what a pass by carl anthony towns and 11 for heart
08:05And in single digits now eight point game what if they say
08:10Just keep it hovering around 10 he got it down to eight here at the close of this half
08:15Harden john brown
08:17He'll drive hard and throw it up with a foul
08:23All afternoon towns working hard in that post area a lot of attention look at all the green jerseys come to him
08:30A little up and under pass
08:31The pass to heart who has 11 in this first half
08:43Past 41 games the boston celtics including the end of the regular season
08:49first round against orlando in game one thirty three and eight

09:2140 50 foot shots with the shot clock running down here to end this second quarter
09:25Knicks haven't led in this one down by nine drilled by as many as 16
09:32And that will take us to halftime

09:40With towns putting in 14 hart puts in 11
09:44Jalen brown has got 17 for the celtics

09:59For john tnt presented by wingstop nine point lead
10:05for the celtics
10:07boston led by 16 points then the knicks went on an 11 to 4 run to close out the second quarter
10:13Yeah, it'll be interesting both teams and you you think about the coaching adjustments
10:18through a game and a half i i am surprised that
10:22boston
10:22they're shooting
10:2420 81 from three and 25 percent
10:27no middle keep the ball out of the middle make them take turn around jump shot everybody's talking to each other
10:32transition everything right get some muscle in the game long game let's keep working work work work
10:39four forks we need more forks
10:41and now let's take a look at our coaching adjustments presented by
10:46progressive
10:4720 for 81 through a game and a half shooting from three
10:52for the celtics it's got to be better and if you're new york
10:56it's been the boards the celtics a plus nine in second chance points
11:02right now let's check in with ali la force
11:04well we're going to i don't think she's there here we go we're starting the second half
11:15it's tatum on top
11:18and he'll make a move into carl anthony towns with a scoop and a rebound by
11:22carl anthony towns 11 rebounds for him nick's on the move brunson bridges three
11:29and the rebound by tatum all right ali kevin i was always here the mic just wasn't but i'm back
11:36in the first quarter tim's told me we just started too slow we needed to get into our rhythm and play
11:40faster then rebounding was a huge issue boston had 15 second chance points and he said lately
11:46we have to get back in transition we haven't been paying great attention to that we can't give them
11:50the second looks or the easy looks that way we thank you we're just into the third quarter
11:56and tatum continues to struggle one of eight missed that layup going to his left only two
12:03points and bridges for the knicks 0 for 7 and hasn't scratched here thus far
12:10starting five out there for both teams and began the game starting the second half out of bounds it goes
12:15it's off the knicks and they have a turnover
12:18tatum a three town to close tatum finally hits one from outside
12:30he is now one of two and only two of nine for the game overall
12:37talking about your leading score only five points
12:40brunson's got it and holliday will quickly pick him up a lot of defense holiday picks up the foul there
12:53the first on true holiday
12:57he's been honored on that all defensive first team three times in his career with his hands full tonight
13:03against brunson which today is a little shocking it's only three times this is one of the premier defenders in our
13:09game it has been for some time
13:14thompson's got it only seven points for him
13:17he had 30 or more five of the last six
13:21heart shot clock at four towns down low this is over the smaller holiday
13:29or they did what are you supposed to do or fade away from a big man
13:33carlin benny towns with 16. tatum again portford that high screen oh look at this
13:41but he gets it to go with a nice jam
13:45through traffic with guys holding on to his shoulders quick five here for tatum
13:52nicks are shooting 39 percent same shooting percentage for the celtics brown watching towns doubled by hartford
14:06bouncing off bodies like a pinball and he goes the other way brown and white quick three
14:13rebound inside carl anthony towns continuing to clean the glass and tonight with 12
14:21inside heart wiggles free for two hart is so good in transition and he doesn't have the biggest of
14:29bodies but he knows how to play angles nice job there are 13 now on the evening for heart
14:35it's tatum six-time all-star right down the lane could not make it go carl anthony towns with the hustle
14:44and an ob at the other end and an ob has been quiet with 5 29 in game one carl anthony towns that will go down
14:55that's what's interesting bridges has been quiet og has been quiet and brunson only seven points but yet
15:04you're only down eight and a steal here by the knicks hart's got it vacuums it in
15:12and carl anthony towns with four consecutive double doubles
15:15had it poked away by tittle it's picked up by holiday trailed by brunson
15:22timeout new york 8 35 in the third and once again it's the turnovers doing in the knicks there's it is
15:30a holiday off to the races double figures for holiday
15:39tonight the nba on tnt is brought to you by state farm like a good neighbor state farm
15:45is there ten point boston lead big lead has been 16 knicks have never led let's take a look at a fan
15:53duel wide point spread for tonight's game beginning at minus ten and a half and now at minus eleven and a
15:59half in that second quarter the knicks outscored boston by two with towns getting ten towns has already
16:10got four to start things off here in the second half he's not at a 20 point game in his last handful of
16:16games he's got it now and tatum will defend
16:23maneuver is backed away by harford it's scooped out to brown and brunson in the way and doubled
16:29by bridges great weak side help there by harford
16:36brown into brunson and holiday will take it through traffic and throws it away with the turnover bridges
16:43as the pick comes in the other way shifting gears
16:48brunson with only seven so far three of ten
16:53and an ob step back three no rebound by white
16:58he's got five so far off to a good start for the season on top tatum it's a three
17:04with the rebound by annanoby still a lid on the that three-point shooting six of 23
17:13for boston bridges tension in hard the button to white the rebound by garrick white
17:18eighth year player out of colorado
17:22brown hard into annanoby another turnover sloppy play boston is messing with fire allowing new york
17:29oh brunson just steamrolls the defense and a foul called on holiday brunson
17:37is a tough one when he has a full head of steam like right here let me tell you who loved this play
17:43right here coach variable over there sitting to our right of the patriots this is the type of play
17:49that the patriots could appreciate by jalen brunson or maybe brian dabble would appreciate the
17:56coach of the giants but i'm sure frable appreciates it too and here's brunson at the line
18:07brunson's first free throw tonight and it comes with seven to nine to play in the field
18:13they're in patches to win prizes with the nba id playoffs challenge members in the u.s and canada
18:20who complete the challenge get the chance at a trip to the nba draft right now in the nba app or on
18:28nba.com slash id well excellent job by bossy doing the one thing in this series thus far keeping brunson
18:36off the free-through line only had seven in game one these were his first two here in game two this is
18:42a guy that was averaging close to eight and a half free throws in these playoffs
18:48rugged player here comes tatum he takes it inside contorted the ball was deflected
18:52and tipped on the shot pritches the other way on a race celtic's back there on defense here comes in
19:01oh my goodness just jack hammered it right over the defense you have got to be kidding me
19:09but it's an offensive foul and he wants it reviewed and he can't understand why and white took it with
19:18the knee to the chest white with a terrific defensive play but man and they will not review
19:25it so apparently he was outside the restrictive circle but you talk about making a life decision
19:31right here what a play what bravery by what courage by white you're not kidding he knows he's going to
19:37take it with ramming speed inside and white goes right into brunson and he gets it to go pretty play
19:44he takes the charge at one end and then on more contact but a different type of contact at the
19:52other wow whitehead 19 in game one he's got 16 tonight and playing well with three threes bridges and
20:00we know the defense we just saw it right there bridges
20:07brunson trying to work down low shot clock at four three heart no
20:12that's done corrals it nice job there by brown boxing out carl anthony towns so
20:18tatum could get that rebound they go inside with tatum matching his way for two
20:23poly ball right there by tatum
20:29lead up to 13.
20:32brunson charging hard with a lot of congestion he goes inside the heart
20:37who somehow gets it to go what a game by heart again doing a little bit of everything what a
20:42playoffs by heart my goodness but only one rebound this is a guy who's a walking double double three
20:48he was one and ten for threes in game one
20:57offensive foul on carl anthony towns number three on towns
21:06we'll see if he cleared space down here
21:09brown hit the three at one end coming down
21:13that was a heavy collision the third on carl anthony towns i don't know about that that's
21:17great acting too he's had foul issues for four straight games coming into tonight as physical
21:23as this game has been that i've seen a lot worse
21:28white finds a gap takes it in works on bridges pretty play by terek white
21:40town slot three got by white feeds to heart back on top punching for the triple rebound ananobi
21:47pitchers in saves the ball
21:50and derrick white again it's got to be a timeout here boston scores
21:55you got to stop the bleeding if you're coach thibodeau
22:00tatum got the cornet screen and gets it off to
22:14oh quickly how things can change in our game this is a momentum changing play right here you think this is an and one for og but it turns in the bully ball for tatum at one end
22:29and how about the beautiful assist
22:35just when you think new york was creeping back in
22:39that charge play on og which everyone thought was a block
22:42and now towns on the bench with three fouls robinson is coming cornet is out for zingas is in the changes out of that break boston on an 11-2 run and a 9-0 run since that charge
22:55and an ob trying to get space it's a running shot from two
23:00and tatum tries to get it it's off right now they say boston although tatum says we should take a look at it and they will
23:09the points are and that's a timeout and a challenge
23:12let's watch it again joe missoula we'll have him look at it
23:15oh yeah that's off og with the reach it'll be boston's ball when we get back on tnt
23:30now a tnt game break presented by paypal coming up next denver against oklahoma city thunder will host
23:37that game two yogic sensational in game one with 42 points and 22 rebounds that's coming up next 9 37 eastern time and the challenge
23:51was successful for boston and they'll have the ball oh gee his last right hand here touching the basketball
24:00knocking it out celtics basketball here
24:04up 18. boston's been cashing in on points off turnovers 22 to 8 on miscues by the knicks
24:15right on top and brunson quickly there to meet him
24:19into porzingis
24:23he hurts all at halftime they've got to find a way to get
24:27porzingis a little bit more active as this series goes on he's only played six minutes that's his first field
24:33goal of this series another 20 point lead in the third quarter for boston like in game one nicks came
24:39back from this can they do it again it's brunson inside hart outside three jason hart josh hart knocks it in
24:49and he has had double doubles in for the last five and josh hart tonight with 18 points to tie the 18 of carl
24:59anthony towns
25:04white and brown josh hart is on him porzingis inside works on bridges shot clock at five
25:13perzingis
25:15it's a three
25:17okay so a quick five by perzingis maybe this can kind of unlock
25:21one of those mystery puzzle pieces for joe missoula boston has made seven straight turnover by the knicks
25:30ahead it's tatum three on two brown will fumble it away it's off of boston
25:35it's brunson who kicks it off and that's off the fingertips ricochers out of bounds off of brown
25:51on a pass intended for ananobi
25:53all i know is going forward porzingis is going to have to
26:00make an imprint in this series and in these playoffs and again we don't know what this
26:07illness is all about and here is the stamina but he's going to have to be able to play
26:1215 to 20 25 minutes going forward mcbride is in for bridges brunson three bumped by tatum
26:21picked up by white
26:24boston is shooting 44 percent brown open white three
26:30and over with the clothes white again another three another miss
26:34perzingis couldn't tip it robinson controls it mcbride is on the run
26:39nice and slashes and slams
26:45mcbride gives him energy and his head now another game off the bench where he's making an impact
26:52more in game one not as many minutes here in game two he was really good in game one with those 11
26:57points a few big threes inside perzingis with a whistle that's the second time
27:07that brunson has stayed in there and taken a charge in his chest these guards are gritty for
27:13both teams oh that's that's body sacrifice right there
27:19we saw from derrick white of the celtics taking that charge on og and anobi and right there the second
27:26for brunson runs finished three of twelve one of five from three with eight points here's a
27:31whistle it's a quick foul on mitchell robinson we saw in the detroit series we saw in game one of this
27:38series they had a foul to give 142 to go in the third
27:43joe mazua who was recruited to west virginia but john beeline and later played under him and bob huggins
27:53on that sideline went to the final four in fact with huggins
27:56in the corner josh hart and a three is down the hatch puts it through
28:05and give him 21 and that leaves new york tonight in game two
28:09and that's supplementing the offense not given by jaylen brunson who was averaging 30 in these playoffs
28:18and the rim right there grabbed onto robinson got it on the other side brunson now mcbride
28:32three got it here they come again here they come again and eight nothing run and what you've seen in
28:41this these playoffs the great equalizer will always be that three-point line
28:53everybody hang top hang top help lift each other up we got to get hey look when we put it down
29:01they're coming after the ball right make sure we create space if you got an angle and you go in
29:07their space okay but if there's traffic let's move it move it move it keep it simple keep it simple
29:14help each other out help create rhythm for each other trust each other down to a 12-point game
29:21after a 20-point boston lead here comes brown brunson there met by aminobi another turnover jarred free
29:27with new york defense and mcbride the other way pritchard has checked in for the celtics
29:34and brunson orchestrated on top with eight new york started three of seven from threes they've gone
29:40three of four over the last couple minutes from distance brunson off balance throws one up
29:45and picked up by tatum
29:50final 10 seconds
29:58and pushed by annanobi
30:01foul to give right there by new york
30:06this is a huge possession right here because coach thibodeau has been preaching all along going into the
30:13fourth we wanted to within 10 to 12 points so we can create some magic once again bridges for brunson
30:25tatum to brown mcbride will defend perzingis the screen the switch
30:31robinson will defend three brown at the buzzer
30:34and the third quarter has come to a close another good finish to a quarter for the knicks
30:40eight nothing run to end the quarter

36:03yeah you got to wrap him up early send him to the free throw line
36:07where he has struggled in these playoffs and throughout the regular season

36:17for the nick since 2003 they only had 13 but they outscored boston by two
36:22in the second quarter and it was a nine point game at the half

37:51boston tonight only 29 from three

39:27six and a half to go in the fourth quarter
39:30three but cal bridges the iron man trying to will his team back in with a
39:36good-looking fourth quarter so far as he's got nine

39:49number one overall see the oklahoma city thunder the presumptive mvp right there

40:35carrying the offense here for the knicks
40:40brown and horford
40:43he'll go spinning into towns
40:48backed away by cornet but retrieved by brunson three on two on the wing bridges
40:53he'll put up a three good big shot and bridges 14 in the fourth quarter
41:03nine nothing nick run
41:05and an eight point game it's a three white no rebound towns now settling for the threes
41:15boston again messing with fire here allowing new york to hang around
41:20towns has 15 rebounds and 18 points tonight bridges again the hot hand with the ball brown is on him
41:28robinson a screen bridges again trying to burst down low
41:32shot clock at two brunson over white it's a three no down is brunson rebound boston white the other
41:40and hart is there and a foul
41:52and josh hart picked up his fourth for the knicks let's see if there was any contact here by derrick white
42:02I think that's what coach thibodeau is having conversations with the official kevin scott about
42:11white with 18 points 19 in game one
42:17now you gotta allow landing shooters a landing oh yeah right there
42:22that should be a foul now during the regular season
42:25that's a no-brainer
42:26but if brunson would have came down on derrick white's foot and rolled an ankle
42:35i mean you gotta protect the shooters and their landing
42:38wide hits it
42:41two or two
42:43those are the first boston points in the last three and a half minutes and a ten point lead and five to go in
42:49the fourth
42:50knicks down by 10 and with the ball the trail by 20 that never went
42:59bridges part the screen shot clock at five over horford
43:04rebound offensively by josh hart outside
43:05brunson three who else
43:11here comes brunson his first points of the fourth
43:15he's not only scored the most fourth quarter points in these playoffs and it hasn't been close by
43:20the way he has scored the most points in these playoffs
43:25overall oh this is a huge possession here for boston all the momentum right now
43:31for the team in white brunson and tatum
43:35outside white heart the close three years away rebound by towns now remember in game one
43:42it was this high screen and roll with towns and brunson
43:46look at the misses over the two game span most in nba playoff history brunson adjusting
43:53crashing into the defense outside josh hart on top bridges three
43:57three rebound heart gets another one but throws it away it's tatum with the steel holiday the other
44:04way white cross court open sideline tatum three no rebound bridges tatum continuing to struggle
44:15from three only one of five four of seventeen for the game nine points for tatum
44:21the guy that was coming off three thirty five plus games in that orlando series
44:27it's hard across the lane and a two-dropper goal and it's a five-point game
44:34thirteen two new york nick run closest it has been in the second half
44:41there are some nervous nellies in this building now as the faithful come to their feet
44:47brown got three no one followed him three now rebound by robinson this is a mere copy of what we
44:58saw in game one three points settling for boston three brunson no robinson offensive rebound here comes
45:07bridges and it looked like that was a foul on tatum smart foul because it looked like bridges had a wide
45:14wide open three on that rebound from robinson two forty three to go furious comeback try
45:23by the knicks for a second consecutive game second round coverage on tnt presented by wingstop
45:31teen to two new york nick run here was a shot that we called a three and we said the great view from where we sit
45:38the official scores table put a two they've gone back to look and they have ruled it a three so
45:43the correct call was made point yeah so that's why it's a four-point game
45:51boston has not hit a field goal in the last six minutes and this is the closest it's been
45:58since four nothing and i'm a little surprised og is not on the floor because this is exactly what they
46:04were going to do foul robinson i would get og back in the on the floor right now and get robinson off but
46:16man robinson's been so good
46:21oh they're going to leave them off because if they're going to continue to foul
46:24and an obi goes back to the bench so they're going to roll the dice keep robinson on the floor
46:35that's going to foul to give still not in the bonus here comes right there is a foul
46:40portford holding robinson
46:44the reason why they took him back is they wanted him to foul one more time so now they're
46:48one away from being in the bonus now you bring in og and take out
46:55robinson
46:56so now the knicks 241 left a bonus action
47:02so horford has three tatum has three for the knicks four on josh hart three on towns
47:08brunson to inbound
47:12bridges fire in the fourth
47:14defense
47:17brunson the cutting heart inside a lot of traffic towns put it down
47:23tips it back through two-point game and fouled on the plane
47:28carl anthony towns has been a man child on the offensive glass you see the shot there by heart
47:36no one rotates over to take the big cat off the offensive glass and we have a chance now with
47:43towns with the main free throw here to be down only one
47:51with a lot of time left two and two from the line
47:55and there's no rhythm really for anyone in green tatum is 4 of 17 brown eight of 21
48:07the knicks on a 17 to 2 run tatum on top and an ob in the way takes it inside with the fade away
48:17no another miss it's picked up by bridges 11 consecutive misses for the celtics
48:24here's the most dangerous man in the building with the ball clutch player the award went to him
48:33a chance for the lead here for the first time tonight
48:43absolutely amazing
48:48brown
48:50brunson is there with a bump and a lead he puts it up on the doorstep no rebound bridges the celtics have grown stone cold
49:03they have missed 12 consecutive shots in a 19 to 2 run by the knicks
49:10brunson holiday is there shot clock at five three bridges no leaping rebound horford he gets it out to tatum
49:21inside white the bump by brunson
49:23brunson with 115 in regulation brunson picks up the net foul and new york had a foul to give well back to
49:32his last bucket we talked about his fundamentals the little step back fade there by brunson
49:40to put the knicks up one second foul on brunson
49:48brown and brunson brown the shot for the lead no tip in white no another miss you can get a quick one
49:56right here brunson will make a move the jitterbug to the rock and he got it to go
50:01go
50:0721 to 2 run by new york this is unbelievable
50:12for a second consecutive game on the four of the defending champs tatum inside flies and is fouled
50:18jaylen brunson in transition knowing all he had to do was go at the body of al horford
50:29again it's a game of angles able to get all the way to the cup
50:34and brunson and bridges bringing back the knicks here in the fourth kevin tatum at the line
50:44and it's a two-point game tonight the nba on tnt is brought to you by amazon one medical
