With Horford's inside injury, the Celtics expanded their lead to 20 points. They thought the game would lose suspense, but then the Knicks hit a counterattack under the leadership of Brunson and Towns.

Mitchell Robinson was targeted

This round of series shows that the Knicks have been targeted by the Celtics. They focused on locking Brunson and letting Towns play singles at low posts. As a result, Towns not only had poor ending efficiency, but also suffered from fouls in the first half and left the court early. This was the key to their backwardness in the first half. Towns also played his dominance in the second half. In this game, Towns made 3 of 13 shots and scored 14 points and 13 rebounds. This round of series, Towns is crucial to the Knicks and he needs to play harder.

Downs was troubled by a foul, Thibodeau let Miro play, but was directly cut by the Celtics. I knew that you didn't have a free throw, so I asked you to do it. As a result, Miro did not disappoint the Celtics. He made 3 of 10 free throws in the game, which was too eye-catching. In this game, Brunson was also a little overwhelmed by the key defense, but in the second half, he recovered his form in time. In this game, Brunson made 9 of 23 shots, 5 of 10 of his three-pointers, scored 29 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Anunobi and Bridges performed well in this game. The Knicks signed these two people to use them to fight against the Celtics. This game was expected. In this game, Anunobi scored 29 points and 3 assists for 10 of 21 shots, Bridges scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. The Knicks' substitute strength is very limited. It is still difficult for them to eliminate the Celtics in this round of series. If the Celtics had not made too iron three-pointers, the Knicks would not be able to withstand it.

Tatum milestone

In this game, Tatum made 7 of 23 shots, made 4 of 15 three-pointers, scored 23 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and the total score in the playoffs rose to fifth place in team history to surpass Pierce. Tatum is now a player under the Celtics. He decided the team's lower limit, but the offensive efficiency is too poor. He may only be less stable from the scoring. Brown was the player who decided the cap because of his outbreak in the second quarter that the Celtics established a lead.

But looking at the whole game, Brown performed very poorly, making 7 of 20 shots in the game, 1 of 10 three-pointers and scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. His opponent really let him go three-pointers, and he really didn't make it. In this game, Porzingis retreated due to illness in the second half. Even if he did not retreat, he did not play a big role in this round of series. He scored 0 points and 4 rebounds in 4 shots, which was very soft. If he played, he would probably be a toy for the opponent's inside line.

White faced the opponent's high-intensity defense in this game, and his offensive efficiency was not good. He scored 5 of 16 three-pointers and scored 19 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. Holiday may be the key to this round of series. He scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal from 7 of 14 shots in the game. If he can play at the star level, the Celtics' probability of advancing is greater. Prichard performed well in this game, scoring 13 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the whole game. The Celtics relied on three-pointers too much, and threw it even if they were not efficient. They were too stubborn and caught up with the score difference by their opponents
