On May 11, in the G3 of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals of the NBA Playoffs, the Celtics defeated the Knicks 115-93. It is worth noting that with 20 points in three consecutive games, this game finally won.

The biggest reason why the Celtics were not reversed in this game - the three-pointer did not lose power, the team made a total of 20 of 40 shots, with a shooting percentage of 50%!

The Celtics lost in the two games at home, with a total of 25 of 100 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of only 25%!

According to NBA historical statistics, the playoff teams that lost 0-2 at home have only a 7.6% promotion rate!

The outside world once believed that the Celtics could still advance, after all, they led by more than 20 points in three consecutive games, which shows that the Knicks' strength is much worse.

However, the most attractive thing about the NBA is that there are no weak teams in the league, especially the top 8 teams that reach the semi-finals. Never underestimate the heart of a championship.

The Celtics' 3 points are not always so accurate. Boss has not been cured for a long time. The 36-year-old Holiday and 38-year-old Horford are also gradually exhausting.

And the Knicks' Towns hit 5 of 18 tonight is also a low-probability event. There is also Anunobi who won the four sides in the first two games, and he scored 2 points only for 1 of 6 shots, which is obviously a sign of excessive fatigue.

Considering the side effects of the Knicks head coach Thibodeau's 5 donkey tactics, coupled with the Celtics' determination to win the G3 desperately, it is not surprising that the Knicks lost tonight.

But the Knicks are very clear about their strength. If they do not expand their lead as soon as possible, they are likely to be turned against the wind by the Celtics.

Therefore, in the end of G4, the Knicks will definitely win the home game with the perseverance of fighting life and death, and write the big score as 3-1.

The Celtics will then have a turnaround rate from 7.6% to 4.4%, and their hopes will be even more slim.
