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.

93.448 - 112.021 Dave DuFour

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.

113.294 - 136.99 Zena Keita

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.

137.03 - 160.212 Zena Keita

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.

160.252 - 172.262 Zena Keita

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.

172.322 - 192.97 Dave DuFour

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.
