The Boston Celtics managed to throw over the first conference semifinal match against the New York Knicks. After putting an advantage of twenty points in the middle of the third quarter, the Celtics collapsed in attack, betrayed for one of its main virtues: the triple.
Those of Joe Mazzulla abused this resource, mainly in the second half, to end the match with fifteen successes in 60 attempts. In fact, the two main stars of the team, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, acknowledged after the match that exceeded three -point attempts.
“We probably accommodated,” Tatum acknowledged in regards to continue insisting with the shot, although the triples did not enter, according to the medium MassLive. “I think that, for my part, I could have attacked the hoop more, but many times we feel that we had really good shots and that we simply do not score.”
-Brown deepened Tatum’s words and admitted that they transformed some moments of duel into a Triple contest. “It is simply to have the necessary composure to recognize when a possession is used and when not,” Brown began. «I don’t think we have done a good job tonight [por el lunes] Reading the game. We were simply pulling triples. We have to find a better rhythm in the paint, attack the area, get offaugments to go to the free and then feel better with our triple line. We will analyze it. We were expectant to start the second round of playoffs, but we have to play better than tonight ».
Now, the Celtics will have one day to regroup, correct errors and completely evaluate their shooting options from the triple before receiving the Knicks in an important Game 2 In the TD Garden, which will be held on Wednesday.
