Jayson Tatum was removed

The Celtics took game 3 in a one-sided 115-93 game and looked at the track to expand the series by the first four quarters of game 4 with a solid lead. But another furious-knick-comeback, combined with the Celtics star Jayson Tatum, who suffered a torn Achilles, put the kinks 3-1 with the whole momentum.

Even without Tatum, the Celtics managed to ward off the excretion at home in game 5 with a win of 127-102. However, when the series returned to Madison Square Garden, the Celtics immediately appeared and fell into a deep deficit in game 6 at the beginning of the game when the kinks were listed at half -time of 27.
