The New York Knicks go into the hostile streets of Boston where they will play in front an even hostile Celtics crowd in Game 6 of their NBA Playoff meeting. Here's the live radio stream of the Knicks vs. Celtics as this game might be do or die for both teams.
Why do or die for the Knicks?
Ask any Los Angeles Lakers fan, the last thing an opponent would like to see is Paul Pierce playing motivated basketball in a best of seven series' final game. If the Knicks let this one slip, then they'll have to travel back home where the Celtics have already quieted the Madison Square Garden crowd in Game 5.
The Celtics totally dominated this game despite trailing the Knicks by 11 points early in the first quarter. Brandon Bass had the biggest game of the series by getting the Celtics on the scoreboard early. He had nine points at the end of the first quarter and had 17 points in Game 5. Jeff Green led the way for the Celtics scoring 18 points, Pierce had 17 and Kevin Garnett had a truly dominant game as he scored 16 points and grabbed 18 rebounds.
For the Knicks, it all went downhill after a Carmelo Anthony jam with 7:47 to play in the first quarter. Anthony finished with just 22 points while shooting a measily 33 percent from the floor. Unlike other games where Anthony was able to lead his team, this time, he didn't have much in the tank. J.R. Smith looked rusty scoring 14 points despite going a miserable 3-14 from the floor. He missed his first 11 shots of the game.
The prediction is easy for the rest of the series, if the Celtics win, they have the advantage after coming back from an 0-3 hole. For the Knicks, win today and advance to the second round of the playoffs.
This could be history in the making as no basketball team has returned from an 0-3 deficit.
