The Boston Celtics bounced back in Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs, defeating the New York Knicks 115-93 at Madison Square Garden. After missing an unprecedented 75 three-pointers in the first two games, the Celtics found their rhythm, shooting 20-of-40 from beyond the arc. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau expressed disappointment in his team's lack of intensity, citing early missed shots that allowed Boston to build confidence. With the series now at 2-1, Game 4 becomes crucial for both teams, as the Celtics aim to equalize the series before heading back home.
We've got to be better, Thibodeau said. They got some clean looks early, and they see it go in, that gives them confidence, and it's hard to shut them off.
No one's gonna shoot great every night, Thibodeau said. There's gonna be nights you don't shoot it that well, but do other things to help the team win.
If they can win Game 4 to even the series before shipping back up to Boston, the Knicks might not win another game.
Just not the way we need to approach it, said Knicks All-Star guard Jalen Brunson, reflecting on his team's flat start in Game 3.
