Tap title to read story
The Celtics' Game 1 loss to the Knicks was attributed to multiple factors by NBC Boston analysts. Poor weather and a 7 pm Monday start contributed to a less-than-electric home crowd. However, the Celtics' historically poor 3-point shooting (15/60) was ultimately cited as the deciding factor in their overtime defeat. Despite this, the Celtics remain heavy favorites for Game 2, scheduled for Wednesday with improved weather predicted.
