THE Knicks created the surprise on Monday during Game 1 of the conference semi-final between Boston and new York (108-105). Led most of the match, relegated to 20 lengths in the heart of the 3rd quarter, Tom Thibodeau’s men succeeded in reversing the Celtics thanks in particular to their tandem Jalen Brunson-and Anunobyauthor of 58 cumulative points (55% of the points of the Knicks).
A remarkable performance and a COME BACK ruffling summary in a few just as impressive statistics, perfectly illustrating the change in dynamics between the two teams from the middle of the third act. Be careful!
- The Celtics shot 35% overall and 25% behind the arc against NY.
- By missing 45 long -distance shots, Boston grabbed a sad record: that of the greatest number of three -point failures on a match in the history of the NBA playoffs.
- Jayson Tatum et Jaylen Brown Shooted at 5 out of 25 with three-point in the match (20%)
- From 5:45 am in the 3rd quarter at 7:26 in the 4th, the C’s conceded a 31-11 allowing the Knicks to return from -20 on the space of a dozen minutes.
- New York spent a 22-7 in Boston at the start of the 4th quarter.
- Boston scored 21 points straddling the last quarter and extension. All at 6 out of 29 in the shoot (21%).
- A period on which Jayson Tatum Combined 4 points to 1 out of 8 on shots, including a terrible 0 out of 5 long distance.
- Jalen Brunson And OG Anunoby accumulated 40 points after the break at 8 out of 10 behind the bow, against only 14 for the pair Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown.
- The two New York pistoleroos each scored 11 points straddling the 4th quarter and the extension, or 67% of the points of their team.
- The Knicks shot 58% behind the arc on the second half (11 out of 19).
If New York had the merit of not letting go on Monday, it appears clearly that Boston above all dropped for lack of success in award -winning shots. If Joe Mace will take the time to analyze the failure of his players here at the Game 2 Wednesday, it appears difficult to imagine the coach of the Celtics changing strategy during these playoffs.
