In a surprising start to the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Boston Celtics find themselves trailing the New York Knicks 2-0 in their series. This comes after the Knicks rallied from 20-point deficits in the first two games to come away with a pair of narrow victories.

Boston Celtics starting center Kristaps Porzingis wasn’t part of the starting lineup in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Due to the illness he was going through, the Latvian big man had to be on the bench to start the game.

The Celtics were without Kristaps Porzingis for most of Game 1 as the big man was forced to leave due to an illness.
