The Knicks just have to stay in striking distance and hope the Celtics cool off later.

90% of their shots are 3’s and only been fouled once in the 3pt line. Foul calls are lopsided as hell

Knicks need to find a way to disrupt Celtics' 3 point shooting rhythm. Knicks lose here, they lose the series. I don't see them getting back in it.

OG doesn't have his thigh wrapped. That's a good sign I guess?

NBA officiating is vile lol refs are literally playing that game Donaghy talked about where they're seeing how long they can go without blowing a whistle for the Knicks. Might make it all the way to halftime!

Towns gets a trash whistle. They could have let that one go.

I don't know if I've ever watched a game that Towns is a part of where he wasn't in foul trouble lol.

Ooph, can't let the refs get in our heads. Our bigs were killing it, they're never gunna get a good whistle while dominating, so we can't let that rattle us...plus Karl's lucky they didn't look at that elbow more. Need to settle down, this has been an alright response to game 2, but we need a strong push to end the half.

70% of Celtics shots have been 3s yet they're winning the FT battle 13-0. Comedy. Scott Foster the extender
