The Knicks surprised everyone by taking a 2-0 series lead against the Celtics, despite being significant underdogs and having struggled during the regular season. Both victories included remarkable come-from-behind moments, as they overcame 20-point deficits, something they hadn't done all season. The media remains skeptical, attributing the Knicks' success to the Celtics' poor shooting rather than praising their resilience. Criticism of the Knicks' performance continues, with analysts pointing to the Celtics' historical low 3-point shooting in Game 1, suggesting the Knicks may not maintain their winning streak.
"I've never seen a Game 1 upset that means less. This is the only game the Knicks are going to win."@ColinCowherd isn't worried about the Celtics after their overtime loss to New York.
In their series opening loss to the Knicks, the Celtics attempted and missed more 3's than any team ever has in a playoff game. That's bad news for New York.
NBA tracking scored 56 of Boston's 60 3-pointers as open or better. Celtics shot 21.9% (7-32) on open 3s, down from 35% in regular season.
