Boston (AP) – The Knicks got used to facing large deficits against Celtics this season. New York faced another to open their confrontation of semifinals of the Conference against the defenders of the NBA. This time, the Knicks found a way to overcome it. Ins rebounds for New York, who lost the four games against his former rival during the regular season and was 20 points down in the second half of this game. “We told ours Celtics, who had a NBA playoff record with 45 foul, wasting a game that seemed to be under control. Derrick White added 19 points and 11 rebounds. “In those moments where they have the impulse, we cannot simply launch triples,” Brown said. “I felt that we simply settle a lot in the second half.” Jrue Holiday returned to the starting alignment after a distension in the tendon of the right corva made him miss the last three games of Boston’s first round series against Orlando. He finished with 16 points in 39 minutes, but the pivot Kristaps Porzingis played only 13 minutes and did not return after part time due to a disease. The game 2 is Wednesday night. The Boston coach, Joe Mazzulla, said that the absence of Porzingis hit the focus of the Celtics. “Obviously the game impacts with his ability at both ends of the court,“ Mazzulla said. “It is not an excuse. We had many opportunities. … hopefully it is ready for game 2.” The Celtics ended up atinating 15 of 60 in triples. Of the 49 shots that the Celtics made in the second half and the extra time, 37 were triple. They only connected 10 of them .___ This story was translated from English by an AP editor with the help of a generative artificial intelligence tool.
