The Knicks ran the Celtics out of the gym for 24 minutes. Unfortunately, they play 48. The game came down to one play and one player.
Chauncey Billups hurt his left leg in the final minute of the Knicks' 87-85 loss on Sunday night. According to Mike D'Antoni, the starting point guard is "very questionable" for Tuesday night's Game 2.
