儘管貴為衛冕冠軍，波士頓塞爾提克（Boston Celtics）卻在 2025 NBA 東區準決賽中陷入難堪局面。面對戰力被認為稍遜的紐約尼克（New York Knicks），他們竟在連續兩場比賽中於大幅領先下崩盤，創下NBA季後賽自有詳細記錄以來的首次「連兩戰20分領先失利」紀錄。首戰他們丟掉20分優勢，第二戰更如出一轍——當賽事進入關鍵時刻，米卡爾·布里吉斯（Mikal Bridges）再次送出關鍵抄截，讓傑森·塔圖姆（Jayson Tatum）絕地反撲無疾而終。對於一支例行賽僅曾在20分領先下輸過一場的球隊而言，這次連兩敗的打擊，已讓外界對其「總冠軍防衛戰」失去信心。這場運動新聞不僅揭示出塞爾提克的崩盤，也讓本系列對決瞬間失去預期中的一面倒局勢。

📈 前所未見的季後賽趨勢：20分逆轉成新常態？
2025 NBA 季後賽至今尚未過半，卻已誕生五場「20分逆轉秀」，其中竟有四場與塞爾提克或溜馬（Indiana Pacers）有關。這股奇異逆轉風暴令人震驚，尤其塞爾提克明明在例行賽61勝表現穩定，卻在關鍵時刻連續熄火。這波劇情不僅衝擊傳統豪門的信賴度，也讓「運動新聞」成為球迷茶餘飯後的熱門討論話題。
The Celtics are the first team in the play-by-play era (since 1996-97) to lose two games when leading by 20+ points in a single postseason.

The NBA, before this season, had never seen a 60-win team face a 2-0 deficit in the second round since the 16-team playoff format was introduced in 1983-84.
And now we have two: Cleveland and Boston. — Keerthika Uthayakumar (@keerthikau) May 8, 2025
🔚 塞爾提克該如何回魂？
尼克展現出無比韌性與防守紀律，特別是米卡爾·布里吉斯的表現可謂逆轉關鍵。相對地，塞爾提克雖擁有塔圖姆（Jayson Tatum）、布朗（Jaylen Brown）等明星戰力，卻在比賽最後關頭屢屢失手。這場系列戰倘若無法盡快止血，塞爾提克的冠軍之路恐怕將提前畫下句點。
Boston Celtics Collapse Despite Champion Status
Despite entering the 2025 NBA Playoffs as the reigning champions, the Boston Celtics find themselves in an embarrassing situation during the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Facing a New York Knicks team widely considered to be the underdog, the Celtics have shockingly lost two consecutive games despite leading by 20 points in both. This marks the first time in NBA postseason history (since detailed play-by-play tracking began in 1996-97) that a team has lost back-to-back games after holding such large leads. In Game 1, they squandered a 20-point advantage. Game 2 played out similarly—during crunch time, Mikal Bridges delivered a critical steal, nullifying Jayson Tatum’s final comeback effort. For a team that only lost once after leading by 20 in the regular season, this pair of defeats has severely shaken public confidence in their title defense.
Key Stats Breakdown: Knicks vs Celtics Through Two Games
To better understand the Celtics' stunning setbacks, a statistical comparison between both teams over the first two games is revealing. The Celtics led by as many as 20 points in both matchups, but failed to close. In Game 2, Mikal Bridges once again proved to be the Knicks’ hero, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter and registering another clutch steal. The Celtics, meanwhile, were plagued by turnovers, especially in the final period, with Tatum and Jaylen Brown making critical mistakes. The Knicks outscored the Celtics 27-15 in the fourth quarter of Game 1 and 30-18 in Game 2, showing stronger execution in decisive moments. These numbers expose the Celtics’ inability to finish strong, casting serious doubts on their playoff resilience.
Is the 20-Point Comeback Becoming a Playoff Trend?
The 2025 NBA Playoffs are barely halfway through, yet five games have already featured 20-point comebacks—four involving either the Celtics or the Indiana Pacers. This strange wave of reversals is both thrilling and unprecedented. Despite posting an impressive 61 wins during the regular season, the Celtics now appear vulnerable under pressure. According to NBA historians, a 60-win team has never gone down 0-2 in the second round under the current 16-team playoff format—until now. Both Cleveland and Boston have made unwanted history. As a result, fans and analysts alike are questioning whether powerhouse reputations still hold meaning. Meanwhile, these dramatic collapses have turned sports news coverage into a daily drama for basketball followers everywhere.
Can the Celtics Still Fight Back?
The Knicks have showcased incredible resilience and discipline, especially on the defensive end. Mikal Bridges has emerged as a key factor in their turnaround, demonstrating poise and timely plays under pressure. In contrast, the Celtics—despite having elite stars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown—have repeatedly faltered in clutch situations. Unless Boston finds a way to stop the bleeding quickly, their championship journey may come to an abrupt end. The team must regain composure and adjust both tactically and mentally if they hope to bounce back. Otherwise, what started as a title defense might soon be remembered as a historic meltdown.
