    The New York Knicks have their NBA eastern conference semi-finals on its head after claiming a second straight win at the higher seeded Boston Celtics


    The Knicks have won 91-90 in Boston, having trailed for almost the entirety of the game.

    But the visitors had a 38-17 run to end the game, with Boston unable to get a shot away in the closing seconds to take the win.

    Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau says his side showed plenty of spirit.



    Oklahoma City Thunder lead 87-56 at halftime against the Denver Nuggets as they look to level their western conference series at 1-all.
