After 20 consecutive reversals, the home court was 0: 2 behind, and the Celtics were eliminated on the verge of half a step?

At the beginning of the Celtics' defensive end, the Knicks were completely suppressed. White scored 8 points in 2 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, and Jaylen Brown continued to hit the inside, helping the team to score a 16-4 attack wave and lead 11 points in the first quarter.

The Knicks made only 6 of 23 shots in the first quarter, 1 of 8 three-pointers, Brunson scored only 2 points from 1 of 6 shots, Bridges made 0 of 5 shots, and the inside was only relying on Towns and Hart to score sporadically.

The Knicks relied on Towns to hit Horford in a row to score 8 points (two times 2+1), and once narrowed the gap to 8 points. Jaylen Brown scored another 10 points in a single quarter, including a three-pointer in the bottom corner and a strong breakthrough of 2+1, contributing 17 points in the first half, helping the Celtics maintain a 9-point advantage.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Tatum scored 5 points in a row (three-point + dunk), Holiday and White continued to firepower, the Celtics scored a 9-0 climax, and the score difference once widened to 20 points. Then Towns made a breakthrough and led the team to return an 8-0 attack wave, narrowing the score difference to 12 points at the end of the three quarters.

Bridges scored 14 points in the last quarter, including two key three-pointers, Brunson assisted Hart to score 10 points in a row, and the Knicks scored 21-2 in the first 8 minutes of the last quarter, overtaking 3 points.

Celtics scored no sports goals in the last quarter for 8 minutes and 22 seconds, and scored 9 points with only free throws. After Tatum's key dunk over, his consecutive mistakes ruined his chances of victory. 1.8 seconds before the final game, Brunson made both free throws to complete the final kill. Tatum was intercepted by Bridges in the last attack, and the Knicks narrowly won with 1 point.

Celtics, Derek White made 6 of 17 shots, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, contributed 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks; Jaylen Brown made 8 of 23 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 4 free throws, contributing 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 turnovers; Jason Tatum made 5 of 19 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, contributing 13 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 turnovers.

In this game, Holiday played his best and defended the opponent well enough. Unfortunately, the Celtics were too bad in both sides; and the Celtics could not defend against Towns, which gave the Knicks a chance to overtake.

In fact, the Celtics have already reported many open positions, but in the past two games of the playoffs, they were in poor form and kept silent. Because they relied heavily on three-pointers in the regular season, they were unable to win the game by breaking through the inside and killing.

Hart averaged 18.5 points per game in this round of series, while Tatum only averaged 18 points per game. As the boss of the team, he averaged less than a role player on the other side. Tatum is really too lazy, and he really doesn't have the best performance of a superstar.

As the defending champion and even the Celtics who swept the Knicks in the regular season, everyone thought that the Celtics had steadily eliminated the Knicks before the start of the game, but they didn't expect that the Knicks would win two games at home, which is really dangerous for the Celtics. After all, there is no home advantage at the moment. If the adjustment cannot be made, it will probably be explained in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

For the Knicks, Josh Hart made 9 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, contributed 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks; Carl Anthony Towns made 9 of 16 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, 2 of 3 free throws, and 2 of 17 rebounds; Jaylen Brunson made 6 of 19 shots, 2 of 9 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, contributed 17 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists; Mikal Bridges made 6 of 18 shots, and contributed 14 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists from 2 of 8 three-pointers.

Downs is still as stable as before, making the Celtics' inside unable to defend. The quasi-20+ large double-double data proves its dominance over the Celtics' inside.

And Bridges is really a god-like and ghost-like character. He made 0 of 8 shots in the first three quarters, but he can score 14 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. The final quarter is the total score of the whole game. The key defense in these two games is still very good. In the current playoffs, the performance of these two games is finally a bit worthy of the chips he had traded at the beginning. It depends on whether the series can be maintained in the next series.

Compared to the Cavaliers' injury to the Pacers, the Celtics' Knicks' real victory against the Knicks, and they can't beat their opponents. They can even be overturned by 20+. There are still problems with the adjustment. It depends on whether the Celtics can turn the tables. If they are eliminated, the defending champion will be a joke.
