Even if they go cold from 3, they will still be really hard to beat if their defensive intensity remains at the level it has been at today.

We'll see if they can sustain this level of defense. The fact they put themselves in a 0-2 hole is going to make it a lot tougher and more of chance they end up gassed and can't finish off the series. Or they are gassed going into the ECF.

This is going to be one of those games where the Celtics shoot a bunch of 3's but still have a 15+ free throw advantage....lol.

The league doesn't want any of this big market goodness to end in only 4 or 5 games.

Mikal Bridges is basically useless on offense

Really this. Celtics allowed to be a lot more physical.

Even when the refs bail Brunson out with free throws he looks bad. He's just working so hard out there only to chuck up garbage

So do Knicks fans have to wait for the end of the third to go home?

Need 5 more points from Brunson. Why would Boston ever stop hacking Robinson?

Was amazed at how hard the Knicks fans kept cheering as the team was down 25. They all expected another miracle run in the 4th.

Celtics just toyed with them all game long.

5 3PA in 21 minutes for GSW.

Bonkers.

Podz and Hield only getting up 1 each is a surprise but I don't know if there has been a team in the last 5 years with less shooting than this Warriors team
