These teams divide the first two matchups in Minnesota.

Golden State has two chances at home to put a 3-1 series in the lead, but you have to do it without Stephen Curry.

Both crimes have to struggle in this series, and it looks like it is a defensive struggle continuously.

Look for Jimmy Butler, Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga to take over a greater workload with curry sidelined.

Game 3 storyline๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ”Ž

The Boston Celtics won their first victory in the second round against the New York Knicks with a dominant 115-93 final. After today's game, road teams are 3-0 in this series and a total of 8: 3 in the 2025 conference, with the East 6: 0.

Celtics trainer Joe Mazzulla had to say about the answer of his squad in game 3:

Boston reacts in game 3๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ‘Š

The Celtics came out strongly and never looked back to take game 3 convincing, 115-93, and they reduced their series deficit to 2: 1. They led over 20 points throughout the second half and had a double-digit advantage since the 4-minute brand of the first quarter. After Boston shot a combined 25-by-100 range from 3-point range in the first two competitions, he today designed half of her attempts from the city center (20-for-40).

Payton Pritchard was the high man for the C with 23 points on 8-against-16 shootings with five made 3s from the bank. Jayson Tatum had 22 points, 9 boards, 7 templates and 2 steals in 40 minutes, but he had another inefficient evening from the field (8- on-20-fg, 5-9 3pt).

Jaylen Brown added 19 points (7-18 FG), 6 rebounds, 5 assists, theft and a block, while he and Derrick White (17 points, 3 seconds 3S) each ended a game +29 plus minus. Al Horford broke 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3pt), 9 boards and 2 blocks in almost 35 minutes.

New York received big games from Jalen Brunson (27 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (21 points, 15 boards), but Mikal Bridges (12 points, 2 steals), Josh Hart (10 points, 2 blocks) and OG-Anunoby (2 points on 1-6 FG) who cannot provide enough support.

Game 4 is set to ESPN for Monday at 7:30 a.m..

Celtics go to 4Q๐Ÿ’ช

Boston kept strong all afternoon to keep control when we drive to the fourth quarter while leading New York 96-70. Five Celtics are in two numbers under the direction of Jaylen Brown (19) and Payton Pritchhard (18) and shoot over 51% as a team (16-31 3pt).

Mitchell Robinson was deliberately fouled by Boston to bring him to the line and to fully slow down the crime of the Knicks. He has 6 points and 6 boards in 12 minutes, but is only 4 out of 12 on the line. Jalen Brunson's 19 points have the way for New York, but you need another massive comeback to have a chance to put a 3-0 series in the lead.

Tatum is free for one and 1 ๐Ÿ˜ค

Jayson Tatum gets out of the sales of the Knicks and gives him 17 points with 5 boards, 4 groschen and theft in 30 minutes. New York used an 8-0 run to reduce his deficit to 22, but today at MSG it was all Celtics because they have a lead of 89: 61 in the third quarter.

Boston three party

Another day, another big lead in the first half for the Celtics. After shooting 15 of 60 and 10 of 40 out of 3 in games 1 or 2, Boston illuminates the garden by spraying in 12 of their 19 tests behind the arch (63.2%). They shot almost 55% from the field and 92% from the charity strip to bring a lead from 71-46 to half.

Jaylen Brown leads his squad with 17 points in the 6-against-12 shooting and adds 5 boards, 3 assists and theft, while Jayson Tatum has 14 points with 5-on-10 shooting and 4-to-5 of Payton Pritchard, why he is the sixth man of the year and 13 points with one 3-Mine-3-Make-Make-Make-Make-Make-Make-Off-T-Bank is.

New York continued its shooting problems from the first quarter and ended the break only 17-against-43 (39.5%) from the field. They are 2 of 12 from the city center, and their only brands come from Jalen Brunson (12 points, 4 templates) and Karl-Anthony Towns (team high-13 points and 6 boards).

OG Anunoby is goalless in almost 20 minutes, and Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart are a combined 4-against-12 shootout and 12 points. Do not miss the second half to see if the Knicks can achieve a third 20-point comeback in a row.

Boston after 1Q๐Ÿ’ฅ big

The Celtics shot 58% in the first quarter, including 6: 7 from the city center, to bring the lead after a lead of 36 to 20. Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard each have 7 points to keep Boston, while Jayson Tatum has 6 points on two 3s.

Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns each have 6 for New York, but the Knicks fought with their shot as a whole and only went 8-to-23 (1: 7 3pt). Precious Achiuwa was a ray of hope with 4 points from the bank when Kat deals with his 2 fouls in 8 minutes.

Celtics start hot from 3๐Ÿ‘€

Boston started 5: 9 from the field and 3-to-3 from the city center, whereby each starter is already in the goal column. Karl-Anthony Towns has 4 of New York's 6 points when they step 13: 6 in the middle of the opening district.

Switch on in ABC for the semi -finals of the Eastern Conference.

New York's first five๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ—ฝ

The Knicks hold the same starter for today's game 3 in MSG. Jalen 'Captain Clutch' Brunson, the second scorer among the active players in the conference semi-final (29.4 ppg), and the rest of New York will achieve their fourth victory in this after season.

On average, all five starters value double numbers, while OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart continue to do competitions for coach Tom Thibodeau.

Boston's starter ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿคฉ

Head coach Joe Mazzulla decides to keep the same five of the games 1 and 2 in Madison Square Garden today. Jayson Tatum, who achieves an average of 18.0 ppg 28.6% and 25.0% from 3 years, will get the two losses behind and his Celtics lead to their first victory in the series.

Jaylen Brown (21.5 ppg) and Derrick White (19.5 ppg) are the leading goal scorers for Boston, but Kristapaps Porziล†ฤฃis (4.0 ppg) could relieve some of the shootings that follow the C's (35.6 fg%, 25.0 3P%).
