Knicks Fall to Celtics in a Blowout Opener: 109-132
Ouch, that was painful. The Knicks kicked off their season with a brutal 109-132 loss to the Boston Celtics. I mean, it wasn't even close. The Celtics just dominated from start to finish, and it was a tough night for Knicks fans.
What Went Wrong?
The Knicks simply couldn't keep up with the Celtics' offensive firepower. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown went off, combining for a whopping 57 points! The Knicks, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm. They turned the ball over way too much, and their defense just couldn't contain the Celtics' hot shooting.
It wasn't all bad...
It wasn't all doom and gloom, though. Jalen Brunson looked good in his Knicks debut, leading the team with 23 points. It's just that the Celtics were on another level. They're a strong team, especially at home, and the Knicks just weren't ready for them.
What's Next?
The Knicks have a chance to bounce back in their next game. They'll be on the road again, facing the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets are a team that's still trying to find their identity, so it could be a good opportunity for the Knicks to get their first win of the season.
Fingers crossed!
