The Boston Celtics faced a crushing defeat against the New York Knicks, losing 119-81 in a playoff game, signaling the end of their season. This loss was unexpected, especially considering their past playoff success led by Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Al Horford.

The article emphasizes the need for fans to appreciate past successes while grappling with the current grim reality of the team's performance.
