Knicks’ playoff madness finally arrives after brief scare
NY Post
For half a heartbeat at the end, as the groan from the last buzzer of the regular season at Madison Square Garden worked its way around the arena, there was quiet: from the fans, from the players. It was almost as if everyone needed validation that what they were feeling was real.
And then came the exhale. And then came one last joyous chorus from the 2,000 or so fans, and a round of raised arms and uplifted fists from the players. It was finished. It was done. It wasn’t easy (be honest, did you expect it would be easy?), but it was over now. The Knicks had beaten the residue of the Celtics’ roster, 96-92. They’d survived an inexplicable and nearly catastrophic 18-2 Boston run late in the game.More Related News
Whenever seasons like the one the Knicks just completed end, I always find myself back outside the visiting locker room at old Mile High Stadium. I always find myself standing with a handful of writers surrounding Bill Parcells maybe half an hour after the Jets lost the AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
