Celtics Rain Threes, Smash Knicks in Record-Setting Win
The Boston Celtics were on fire from downtown, setting a new franchise record for three-pointers made in a single game, and absolutely dismantling the New York Knicks in a dominant 144-102 victory. It was a total blowout, and it's safe to say the Celtics were feeling it.
A Shower of Threes
The Celtics absolutely rained threes on the Knicks, sinking a whopping 22 shots from beyond the arc. That's right, 22! It was a sight to behold, and it shattered their previous franchise record of 19 three-pointers made in a game. Every Celtic seemed to be hitting their shots, but Jayson Tatum led the charge, drilling 8 three-pointers and finishing with a game-high 37 points.
Effortless Offense
The Celtics' offensive performance was simply effortless. They were moving the ball with precision, finding open shots, and making them. It was a clinic in efficient scoring, and the Knicks had no answer.
A Team Effort
It wasn't just Tatum who was lighting it up. Marcus Smart chipped in 22 points, Malcolm Brogdon added 20, and Derrick White added 18 points of his own. The Celtics were getting contributions from everyone, and it was a beautiful thing to watch.
The Knicks? Not So Much
The Knicks, on the other hand, looked completely lost on the court. Their offense was stagnant, their defense was porous, and they just couldn't seem to get anything going.
A Dominant Performance
This game was a testament to the Celtics' offensive firepower. They were unstoppable, and the Knicks were simply no match. This was a statement win, and it should send a clear message to the rest of the league: The Celtics are a serious contender.
Looking Ahead
With the Celtics on fire, the rest of the league better be on notice. They are a team to be feared, and with their hot shooting, they are capable of putting up big numbers on any night. This win was just a taste of what they are capable of, and it's going to be a fun ride watching them in the playoffs.
