Celtics Rain Threes, Drown Knicks in a 133-118 Victory
The Boston Celtics put on an absolute three-point clinic against the New York Knicks, bombarding them with a franchise-record 29 threes in a 133-118 win. It was a total beatdown, and the Knicks never really stood a chance.
The Celtics were on fire from deep all night, with Jayson Tatum leading the charge with 31 points, including 7 three-pointers. He was absolutely cookin', and the Knicks had no answer for him. Jaylen Brown chipped in with 22 points, and Malcolm Brogdon added 21 off the bench, including 5 three-pointers.
The Celtics' hot shooting wasn't the only reason they won, though. They played stingy defense, forcing the Knicks into 18 turnovers. The Knicks were just flat out bad, shooting just 41.5% from the field. They couldn't buy a bucket.
This win is a big one for the Celtics. They're now 4-1 on the season and looking like a serious contender in the East. They're playing with confidence, and their offense is explosive. The Knicks, on the other hand, are 2-3 and in need of some serious adjustments. They've got to find a way to get stops, and they've got to find their shot.
This game was all about the three-pointer, and the Celtics were the kings of it. This record-breaking performance is a sign of things to come. They're a team that can beat you in a variety of ways, and they're going to be a tough matchup for anyone in the league.
