The Celtics blew it again, and their title defense hangs by a thread: Takeaways
Briefly

The Celtics faced another disappointing loss to the Knicks, dropping to a 2-0 series deficit. Jayson Tatum, who excelled in the previous series against the Magic, struggled mightily with a 5-for-19 shooting performance and crucial turnovers. Jaylen Brown also faltered, contributing only 20 points on 8-for-23 shooting. The team's collective performance was marred by poor 3-point shooting and a lack of scoring, particularly evident when they failed to score a single field goal for over eight minutes, despite holding a substantial lead several times during the game.
Jayson Tatum, who had another abysmal game, is nearly invisible against the Knicks, shooting just 5-for-19, while Jaylen Brown was little better at 8-for-23.
The Celtics proved capable of taking a 20-point lead against the Knicks but then went without a field goal for over eight minutes in the fourth.
