With the win, the Celtics now only trail by one game in this series. While they didn't want to be in this situation in the first place, they avoid the dreaded 0-3 situation, in which few teams ever come back from. They play one more game in New York before heading back to Boston in Game 5. Ideally they want to have the series tied up by then before going back home.
Meanwhile, the Knicks lose their first game of the series. Not every win can be a comeback, and the Knicks need to start a game strong for once. They'll get to play one more game at home before traveling back to Boston. We'll see if they can make it a 3-1 lead before we reach Game 5.
