The New York Knicks eliminated the Boston Celtics in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Boston’s roster dealt with multiple injury issues, which played a significant role in its early exit.
On Saturday, May 31, the Knicks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers. Tom Thibodeau’s team won two of its six games against the Tyrese Haliburton-led roster. Now, New York’s roster will be watching the NBA Finals from the comfort of their own homes.
Shortly after the Knicks’ loss, Celtics legend Paul Pierce took to social media to troll New York.
“Man let me role up this Knicks pack then lay it down,” Pierce posted on X.
