New York Knicks forward Mikal Bridges is quite literally stealing away his team's second-round NBA playoff series from the Boston Celtics. For a second-straight game, Bridges secured the game-altering steal against Boston to prevent the Celtics from getting the points necessary with time ticking down to either force overtime or win altogether.

The New York Knicks are up 2-0 in their best-of-seven set with the Boston Celtics after another thrilling comeback victory.

Mikal Bridges' basketball skills were not their best on Monday, so he relied on his football knowledge instead to make the game-saving play in the New York Knicks' 108-105 overtime victory against the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of their second-round series.
