A Celtics-Knicks Eastern Conference Finals would've rekindled a dormant rivalry. The Gardens in Boston and New York hosting those two as they slug it out for the right to play for the Larry O'Brien Trophy would've made for great theatre.

The latter two were questionable but ultimately suited up in a commendable effort to save their season. However, Anunoby's hamstring injury only allowed him to play the first five minutes of Sunday's matchup, putting five points on the board and giving New York an initial spark before being relegated to a spectator for the final 43 minutes.

They raced to a 22-point lead in the first half, seizing control of this winner-take-all contest. The hosts, trying their best to rally, trimmed the gap to 15 at halftime, then six in the third quarter, but even with MSG rocking and New York building momentum, Indiana composed itself, extending its advantage to 18.
