Game 6: Knicks win the series 4-2
After
blowing two opportunities to eliminate the Celtics, New York got their victory
with a win in Boston, 88-80. The Knicks have finally advanced to the semi-finals
for the first time since 2000. Carmelo Anthony had 21 points, Iman Shumpert had
a great game with 17 and rookie from Argentina Pablo Prigioni finished with 14.
New York led for the entire game with their lead being as much as 26. But the
Celtics didn’t give up. During the fourth quarter, Boston went on to score the next 20 points to put them
within striking range, and they got within 79-75 and had a sense of hope as the
period was coming to a close. The Celtics were on the verge of a chance to extend
the series with this major comeback until, Carmelo Anthony knocked down a
clutch jumper. Jeff Green ended with 21 points before fouling out and Kevin
Garnett scored 15 points with 10 rebounds. Paul Pierce and Jason Terry both
finished with 14 and Avery Bradley added 10 points.
New York
will take on the Indiana Pacers for this next round of playoff action. Game 1
will be on Sunday at Madison Square Garden. The aging Celtics will have a lot
of decisions to make this summer to prepare for next season. Will Paul Pierce,
Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo get another chance to play together? Or will
Boston rebuild with fresh bodies ? -@SarahTresChic15
