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.

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.
