Celtics appear after a swarming future after a surprising playoff exit against Knicks

New York-a 38-point defeat in an elimination game has the opportunity to hurry the phases of the loss. The Boston Celtics were accepted when they left Madison Square's garden on Friday evening.

A 119-81 Drubbing of the New York Knicks ended the semi-final series of the Eastern Conference teams in six games and the time of the Celtics as NBA champions with a final.

“The end in May feels strange, it is definitely not something we were prepared for,” said Celtics star Jaylen Brown, who struck out before the end of the third quarter after 20 points, but with seven sales. “This year things didn't go towards us, and it is unhappy. But we keep our heads up. The defeat against the Knicks feels like death. But I was always taught that there is life after death, so we will prepare for everything on the trip.”

Although they achieved a victory in game 5 that forced a return trip to New York and gave them hope for a rare 3: 1 comeback, the Celtics were never the same after giving the star team colleague Jayson in the game 4 on Monday with a torn Achilles tendon.

But after the Knicks came back twice from 20-point deficits in the second half to steal games 1 and 2 in Boston, and then the overall domination that was played in game 6, the Celtics were also ready to congratulate their once heavy outsider opponent.

“We came across a great team. They have to give their hat on the kinks,” said Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla. “You surpassed us. You played better.”

The Celtics had no big lead to blow Friday. The Knicks led wire to Wire and were up to 41 points. New York showed enormous defense energy and held Boston to 33% of the shootout in the first half when the tone of the game was set.

Mazzulla changed his starting line -up in six games for the fourth time and runs with Luke Kornet, a hero 5 and Boston in the series. But the Knicks did not allow them to disturb them, and then dominated the interior, which shredded the Celtics in paint points (48-34), scores of the second chance (25-11) and rebounds (55-36).

In addition to the loss of Tatum, the Celtics never had the best of Center Kristaps Porzingis, which played 12 largely empty minutes from the bank. He was a key to the Knicks in the regular season when he scored an average of 25 points at 50% and Boston went 4-0. Porzingis fought against an illness that has affected him since February. He was 6-von-25 shooting and an average of 4.2 points in the series.

“[It was] Great, super frustrating. As frustrating as you can imagine. Just to help this team, especially when JT ends, said Porzingis.

Porzingis said he intended to experience a rest and a few more tests in the next few months to “reset” his system. He said he was still planning to play Latvia in Eurobasket for his home country in August.

The future is generally blurred for the Celtics. Since Tatum is exposed to a long relaxation after an operation on Tuesday, which could run out of its 2025-26 season, the Celtics will be a record of up to $ 500 million next season if this squad remains intact.

The Celtics will soon be sold to a group that investor Bill Chisholm, who has not yet made his expenditure plans clear after bought a majority stake in the team with an evaluation of more than 6 billion US dollars this summer.

“You will never get back this season. You will never have the same team again,” said Celtics Guard Derrick White. “Obviously there were some ups and obviously some depths of the season, but at the moment it's just somehow down.”
