Take a look at these two shooting slash lines, showing the percentages from the floor, three, and the charity stripe: 56/43/75 against 45/34/94.
One team couldn’t miss, the other one missed shots more often than not. The shots were pretty balanced with one side hoisting 81-35-12 and the other one 82-38-16. The former figures belong to the Celtics, the latter to the Knicks.
For two quarters and change, New York played a respectable host to the visiting Beantowners inside The Only Garden. After a few minutes into the second half, however, the Knicks unraveled and there was nothing the dudes could do about it.
