The New York Knicks pulled off a stunning upset when they dethroned the Boston Celtics as NBA champions by defeating them 4-2 in their best-of-seven second-round playoff series. New York sealed Boston's fate by winning the first two games on the road at the TD Garden and then clinched the series win with a fourth win at the Maddison Square Garden.

Boston would do so, and handily -- thanks in no small part to the Vanderbilt alum's career night vs. the Knicks in Game 5. "Throughout my time of the Celtics and throughout my career whatever coach asked me to do, I'm just there to do it," said Kornet.
