00:47The game unfolded with intensity from the outset. The Knicks set the tone early,
00:53leveraging aggressive defense and sharp shooting to close the first quarter ahead 26-20.
00:59The Celtics, meanwhile, felt the absence of their star forward, Jason Tatum, who was sidelined due
01:05to an Achilles injury sustained in Game 4. Without Tatum's scoring prowess and leadership,
01:11Boston struggled to find rhythm on offense and were frequently disrupted by New York's stifling defense.
01:18The second quarter proved decisive as the Knicks seized full control. Opening with a 7-0 run,
01:25New York extended their lead, putting the Celtics on their heels. One moment stood out vividly.
01:32Deuce McBride's chase-down block on Derek White sparked a transition opportunity,
01:37allowing Josh Hart to score and draw a foul. This sequence not only fired up the Madison Square Garden
01:44crowd but also punctuated Boston's growing frustrations. The Knicks' offense flowed with
01:50precision and pace, culminating in a commanding 64-37 halftime lead. This 27-point margin matched
01:58the Knicks' largest playoff lead during the shot clock era, underscoring the team's dominance and
02:04the Celtics' mounting difficulties. After halftime, the Knicks showed no signs of slowing.
02:10The third quarter saw New York's lead balloon to an imposing 41 points. Boston's efforts to rally
02:17were stymied by relentless Knicks defense and effective offensive execution. Recognizing the
02:23futility of fighting a rapidly expanding deficit, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla began resting his starters,
02:31signaling a tacit concession that the series was effectively over. New York's ability to sustain
02:37pressure, control possession, and convert key opportunities illustrated their strategic superiority
02:44throughout the contest. As the fourth quarter commenced with the outcome virtually sealed,
02:50the Knicks maintained focus and intensity. Josh Hart's stellar performance was a highlight.
02:56As he recorded the franchise's first playoff triple-double since 1972, an achievement reflecting
03:02his all-around impact on the game. His contributions on both ends of the floor inspired teammates and
03:09further demoralized the Celtics. The final buzzer confirmed a historic 119-81 Knicks victory,
03:17marking the largest playoff winning margin in franchise history and sending a clear message to the rest of
03:23the league about New York's resurgence. In conclusion, Game 6 exemplified the Knicks' depth,
03:31discipline, and determination. The absence of Jason Tatum left the Celtics unable to counter New York's
03:37balanced attack and defensive tenacity. With this decisive win, the Knicks advanced to face the
03:43Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, carrying with them not only the momentum of a historic victory,
03:49but also the hope and ambition of a franchise eager to re-establish itself among the NBA's top contenders.
