The New York Knicks made another huge comeback to defeat the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinals, taking a 2-0 series lead.

After being down as much as 20-points, Mikal Bridges had a huge fourth quarter, ending with a block of Jayson Tatum on the final possession of the game to give the Knicks the 91-90 win.

The series heads to New York for Game 3, scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.

The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets 149-106, to tie the Western Conference semifinals at 1-1.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 34 points for Oklahoma City, who set an NBA playoff record for first-half points with 87. The Thunder outscored the Nuggets by 51 points in Gilgeous-Alexander’s 30 minutes, giving him the best plus-minus in a playoff game since that statistic started being tracked in 1997-98 (per ESPN.)

Game 3 is scheduled to take place Friday in Denver.
