How did the Knicks manage to defeat the Celtics?
Guten Morgen und willkommen zu den NBA Daily. Kommt eine verrückte Nacht des Playoff-Basketballs. Die Knicks verletzen die Celtics. Wir haben Andrew Schlecht hier, um über das Wunderblöken von Game 1 zu den Nuggets zu sprechen. Guten Morgen, alle. Guten Morgen, Zena. Good morning, Dave. Man, what a night. Yeah, second round is coming out throwing haymakers. So far, all of the home teams have dropped game one. We're going to have obviously the Warriors going to play the Timberwolves tonight for game one of that series. We'll see if that holds. But, you know, the Celtics had a 20 point lead. Last night, Zena, and I thought that was it. I thought the game was over. And then all of a sudden, one of those epic Celtics droughts just kicked in.
What went wrong with the Celtics' shooting strategy?
They finished the game 15 out of 60 from three. And that's the first number I'm going to point to. Aside from the final score, which was 108-105, the Knicks get a big win in overtime. But it's hard to win basketball games if you're going to miss 45 threes, Zena.
Yeah, especially in the fourth quarter, going four of 22. And it's important to note that Celtics took 97 shots in this game. And 60 of them were from three. This is what they do, but they didn't do it well. You've been sitting at home waiting for the Knicks to finish that grueling series with the Detroit Pistons. And yet somehow the Knicks enter Boston and find a way to play those Tom Thibodeau minutes. and win playing hardball basketball. Just going after every loose ball, jumping higher, running faster. Every single aspect of their game was just who wanted it more. Shout out to Mikael Bridges. Shout out to OGN and OB. Dropped 29 points alongside what we always know Jalen Brunson to do, who also had 29 points, just cooking in the clutch. It was unbelievable. Bravo, bravo, Nix, bravo.
You know, you gotta, I'll point to this. First half of this game, I thought Boston came out, you can see their game plan. We're gonna attack Jalen Brunson, we're gonna attack Carl Anthony Towns, put both of those guys in foul trouble. Smart, right? It limits their offensive options at the other end. But then Boston just... did this thing in the second half where they just started chucking threes. And they were already shooting a lot of threes, but this felt like rushed. It was one pass, get a shot up. You know, even like off an offensive rebound, you know, usually you'd get a reset. It was sometimes guys just dribbling straight to the three-point line and firing up a shot instead of attacking the basket.
How did the Knicks' defense outperform the Celtics?
Look, when Carl Anthony Towns is the center, that's the time to go to the basket, like get to the rim. You know, Mitchell Robinson did a much better job protecting the rim, but he didn't play all that much. See, I just can't understand why the Celtics, you know, they won't just put their head down and drive. But we should swing this and give some credit to the Knicks, because they did mount the comeback. And fourth quarter, Jalen Brunson steps up big. Und er hat fast das Spiel gewonnen, du weißt, mit dem Floater am Ende der Regulierung. Aber er fordert die Überzeit, aber nur durch, du weißt, was er tut. Er hat schwere Schüsse, ist auf die Freethrow-Line gekommen. Und du weißt, mit den Celtics, sie haben einfach nicht stoppt, Drei zu schießen. Und einfach, du weißt, ich höre nicht, als wäre hier ein gebrochenes Rekord, aber es scheint, als ob sie diesen einen wegschieben lassen. Kind of by being stubborn. It's a little bit like Tin Cup. You know, he makes the bad shot and they're just like, well, keep giving him the ball.
