The boston Celts pulled out a sweeping of the season of the New York Knicks With an extension victory 119-117 Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Jayson Tatum (32 points) forced the extension with a 3 -point basket of the clutch with two seconds remaining in the regulation before a huge shot of 3 Porzingian Kristaps Kristaps in the afternoon in the extension helped to win the victory for Boston.
The visitors beat up to 11 points in the first half in the preview of the second round of the second round between the rivals of the Atlantic Division. However, Boston slowly moved away at the helm and kept control of most of the second half in one of the final tune of the year for the initial five. However, the Knicks used a 12-2 race at the end of the fourth quarter to take leadership before Tatum’s clutch basket forced the extension.
Kristaps Porzingis ended with a maximum of 34 points, while demolishing the eight 3 race. Jaylen Brown (Six points) It was limited to 22 minutes, as it continues to deal with a bone bone on the knee and did not play in the fourth quarter and extension due to a limit of minutes. Karl-Anthony Towns ended with a double-double, a 34-point game and 14 rebounds. Jalen Brunson also collided with 26 points in his second return game for an ankle injury.
Boston will now make a long flight to Orlando for his last road game of the regular season on Wednesday night against a possible rival of the first round.
Then there are four to take away from the thriller of the extension on Tuesday:
Porzingis kristaps shoots the perimeter lights: The old Knicks selection loves to play in front of the brilliant lights of the Madison Square Garden and put a show on Tuesday night from long distance. The seven feet returned from an absence of a game to demolish seven of their first 11 attempts at three points, before linking his career with a 3 clutch in the extension. The offensive explosion showed a weak point in Knick’s defensive staff, as Porzingis repeatedly punished the slow closure for Karl-Anshony Towns as he fell into the coverage. There are not many good options to defend the five that start with Boston, but giving open aspects to Porzingis is becoming a riskiest option with performances like this.
No one could ensure Karl-anthony Towns: The Celtics could not play doubles in this contest with Horford (knee) getting the night. The Knicks were able to take advantage of it for much of the night with the cities working inside the bow. Boston tried to repeatedly use smaller defenders to All-Star, but the cities managed to besiege their way to the easy gaze of the hoop, no matter who threw Boston. He made 10 of his first 15 shots during the first three quarters and fired 75 percent searches of the field from the two -point range in this section, carrying a Knicks offense that was not firing well from the perimeter.
Celtics no longer play sowing: Boston has been directed towards the Selection number 2 at the Eastern Conference for the last two months, but officially became on Tuesday night with the cavs blowing the bulls at home. That victory achieved the first seed and the advantage of Homecourt for Cleveland in a possible end of Eastern Boston in place number 2, where the winner of a probable game between the magic and the hawks will probably wait for the right to be number 7. With three games remaining, Boston will only be focused on keeping themselves fresh, as they launch for the start of next weekend.
Boston’s search for NBA road history continues: Celtics only have one road game this season in Orlando on Wednesday night and are likely to be extremely taken out of the back. However, the team will have the opportunity to cease in the history of regular season NBA if they can win a victory in Florida. This would give you 34 wins of the regular season, coinciding with the Golden State Warriors 2016 for the best road record in the history of the NBA. How many usual people will go for this brand after a battle of extension is in the air, but it is likely to see a large amount of the second unit Wednesday night trying to make history.
