Mitchell Robinson's effects goes far beyond the box points

Big Mitch has helped to spear Knick's comebacks

A three pointer from Kristaps Porzingis gave Boston a lead of 20 points with only 3:12 in the third quarter of the game. A PAYTON Pritchard three pointer with 8:40 In the game gave the Celtics an apparently insurmountable lead of 16.
of the game, a one-point victory.

As soon as the Knicks fell back at the fourth, Robinson was fought for a rotary movement near the edge and saw the ball fell through the tire. What followed was a cruel attempt at the free -wing line that bent far behind the edge. Nevertheless, it was an impressive step to get the basket and led to a non -empty trip to New York. A 21: 2 run of the Knicks also started.

Robinson is the longest Knicks player who is now with New York in his seventh season. The 27-year-old center played 2 9.5 minutes in the fourth quarter. In 22 minutes the kinks were on the square with him, the highest +/- in the team, +19. He did excellent work on the glass at both ends and even provided three steals.

Towards the end of the game, he was confronted with the guarding of Jayson Tatum. The kinks only help slowly and Tatum blew him for a dark
18.1 seconds left, which gave the Celtics a one-point lead. Brunson then preferred a foul with 12.1 seconds and made both free throws. That put the Knicks one again.

Boston decided to forego the final break for the final sequence. Tatum was again Robinson. Robinson could do A
Better work to force Tatum where the help was. Bridges got his hand with an intended pass and threw the ball on the way to run out of the clock.

Robinson's last line included six points and eight rebounds. Just like playing 1, the effects of the seven-foot went far beyond the box score.

Game 1 went just as well

In the first half of game 1, the Celtics used “Hack-a-Mitch”. The strategy seemed to work well, and the big man went 3-10 from the charity organization
Strip. Tom Thibodeau had to leave him out of the game in the second quarter, and even gave a precious Achiuwa in this year's playoffs for the first time in this year's playoffs.

When Karl-Anthony Towns took up his fourth foul, Robinson returned to the court in the third quarter. At that time, New York was 72-52. He stayed in the game until 9:26 a.m. in the fourth with the score 84-80 Boston.

It was another game in which Robinson showed no eye problems. In his 21 minutes he ended three points and seven rebounds. Just like in game 2, Robinson had the best +/- of every Knicks player when Ny scored 13 points on the square with 13 points.

Robinson was often used as a defensive replacement for late in close games and was with the game at the end of the regulation. Just like in game 2, he saw himself to protect himself. He stayed with him and Tatum missed a three pointer with a 9.1 second lead. While the Knicks did not achieve the victory in the regulation, they did this in overtime.

There are many who want to concentrate on Robinson's weaknesses. Of course, free throw shooting extends over the list. Just like in 2023 against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening round of the playoffs, Robinson again plays a major role in this series. It is time to see the effects that Robinson achieves without a hit.
