The Celtics entered their playoff series against the Knicks with a perfect 4-0 record during the regular season but faced an unexpected defeat in Game 1, losing 108-105 after squandering a significant lead. The teamâs dismal shooting from three-point range, where they missed a playoff-record 45 shots out of 60 attempts, raised questions about their offensive strategy moving forward. Star player Jaylen Brown admitted the team had quality looks that were not converted, indicating a need for adjustment in their approach, especially regarding driving to the basket more often to enhance scoring opportunities.
Our rhythm and our timing was a little bit off. We should have driven the ball to the basket more rather than relying solely on the three-point shot.
Boston took an NBA playoff record 60 three-pointers but, shockingly, missed a record 45 of them, emphasizing the teamâs heavy reliance on three-point shooting.
