The New York Knicks were in a prime position to capitalize on their 2-0 series lead over the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Saturday afternoon. New York's road to the 2-0 series lead was far from easy, as they overcame 20-point deficits in each game.

The Celtics drained six of their first seven 3-pointers in Saturday and continued to bolster their confidence by making hustle plays that earned them extra opportunities to launch more threes.
