Knicks lost because the Celts hit 20 threes on a 46% clip and JB and White played excellent. Nothing more to it. OG and Bridges also shot like shyt.
That’s what makes the Celts dangerous. With Tatum out now they have to double down on spamming 3s and their role players will be playing without pressure because no one expects them to come back in the series. They could easily blow out the Knicks in the next two games just off of 3s volume and percentage. And Thibs players usually start running out of gas by the end of long series.
