Targeting on Karl-Anthony cities

Tatum attacked Karl-Anthony cities in the pick-and-roll and repeatedly called it into the action. He drove on him and pulled a foul. He let off a 3 pointer when the cities slept on a switch. So frightened in front of another, the cities jumped on a pump forgery, and Tatum drew a second foul. Everything in the first five minutes.

Josh Hart also recorded his second foul in the first five minutes to defend Tatum. Knick's head coach Tom Thibodeau had to go to his bank early. So what did Tatum do? Instead, he chose Mitchell Robinson. At the end of the first quarter, Tatum had 13 of the 26 points of the Celtics. Light.

The cities returned in the second quarter just to be edited by Brown in the pick-and-roll, and added a third foul. And when cities sat for the second time, Payton Pritchard worked on Robinson. It was a rotating cast of characters that demanded the weakest defender of New York and created a number of quality recordings.

Not that all of these recordings found the bottom of the basket when the Celtics shoot 35.1% from the field.

Knicks don't quit

The Celtics drove their lead to up to 72-52 in the middle of the third quarter. It looked over.

Then this Knicks – those who have never stopped – appeared. Anunoby drained consecutive 3-pointer to prevent Boston to 75-61. Brunson finally found some daylight and at the end of the third quarter scored eight of his 29 points in a little more than two minutes. And the Knicks closed the frame on a 23-12 run and took a more manageable nine-point deficit into the last quarter.

Boston frozen for a spell, gave up his game plan and chose 3 points, scored 15 out of 60 from the large reach. He was the first team in Nach season history to take 60 3s and set a playoff record with 45 errors.

Another 8: 0 run from the Knicks at the beginning of the fourth quarter, interrupted by another anunoby triple, to the leadership of Boston with 8:58 in the lead of 84: 83. Moments later, Anunoby Tatum's bag chose cities in the pick-and-roll attack, no less and did not dip the draw with 86-86.

It was Brunson, whose heroic deeds ended the New York series against Detroit, who gave the Knicks the first lead since the beginning of the second quarter and drained a 3 pointer in the corner to make a 91-91 tie. He triggered another property in New York and driven its advantage to 97-91. The coupling player of the year arrived.

The Celtics reacted with a 7-0 run that was covered by a Derrick White 3 to recapture the tour with 2:18 left. Nevertheless, Anunoby combined with his sixth and last 3-pointer of the night and gave New York an advantage of 100-98.

A sick Kristaps Porzi.

Kristapaps Porzi ņģis tried it and there was no high illness at the beginning of the game, but he missed all four of his shots and had only four rebounds for his 13 minutes. The head coach of Celtics, Joe Mazzulla, interrupted him with 7:34 in the second quarter, and he never returned.

Al Horford started the third quarter instead of Porzi.

Porzi ņģis played a total of 73 minutes against the Knicks in the regular season, and the Celtics exceeded 11 points per 100 possessions from New York during this time. Assuming that he returns in this series, Boston has another wrinkle to defend the Knicks to throw-a 7-foot 2-edge edge-in-one horn.

When Mazzulla was asked about Porziņģis after the game, he didn't have much to offer.
