Knicks Stun Celtics, Eliminate Defending NBA Champions from Playoffs

In a dramatic turn of events, the New York Knicks have knocked out the reigning NBA champion Boston Celtics, ending their title defense in the playoffs.

The Boston Celtics’ quest for back-to-back championships came to an abrupt halt last night as the New York Knicks secured a decisive victory, eliminating the defending champions from the NBA playoffs.

The Knicks, who entered the series as underdogs, showcased relentless defense and clutch shooting to close out the series in front of a raucous crowd at Madison Square Garden.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with a standout performance, scoring 32 points and dishing out 9 assists, while Julius Randle contributed a double-double to help seal the win.

The Celtics, despite a valiant effort from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, were unable to overcome the Knicks’ intensity and depth.

This stunning upset marks the Knicks’ first playoff series win over the Celtics in over a decade and sends shockwaves through the league. As the Knicks advance to the next round, questions now swirl around Boston’s offseason plans and their path forward after a disappointing end to their championship defense.
