01:21The Celtics displayed impressive depth, especially from their bench.
01:27Peyton Pritchard's unexpected breakout performance with 23 points, including 5 three-pointers,
01:34allowed Jason Tatum to operate with more space.
01:37Boston's perimeter shooting was a standout,
01:40as they connected on 20 of 43-point attempts.
01:44Additionally, their defense, led by Tatum and White,
01:48was efficient in limiting the Knicks' offensive flow and disrupting their rhythm.
01:53Boston's interior defense remains a potential vulnerability,
01:57especially when Chris Dapp's Porzingis is on a minute restriction
02:00and Al Horford is unable to provide a consistent inside presence.
02:05Despite their perimeter dominance,
02:08the Celtics' inside game could be exposed by teams with stronger post players
02:12or by pushing the pace in the paint.
02:15Boston's depth and shooting ability offer significant opportunities.
02:20The continued emergence of Peyton Pritchard gives them an extra weapon off the bench.
02:26And if Porzingis can stay on the floor longer, he adds an additional post presence.
02:31Moving forward, the Celtics have the chance to further exploit their perimeter shooting
02:36while maintaining a balanced offensive attack.
02:40New York's resilience and ability to make adjustments could pose a challenge.
02:44If the Knicks tighten their defense and improve their free-throw shooting,
02:48they could steal a game back in Boston.
02:50The Celtics must remain disciplined in their defense
02:53and not get complacent with their shooting-heavy approach.
02:57The Celtics should continue to capitalize on their perimeter shooting
03:00and fast-paced offense.
03:03The ball movement in Game 3 was efficient,
03:06finding open shooters and taking advantage of mismatches.
03:10They must remain disciplined defensively,
03:13particularly in limiting Jalen Brunson's impact on the game.
03:18Rebounding will be key.
03:20They cannot allow the Knicks to get second-chance opportunities
03:23that could keep them in the game.
03:25If Porzingis stays healthy and on the floor for extended minutes,
03:29it will provide them with additional spacing and a stronger interior presence.
03:34The Knicks' biggest strength lies in their star power,
03:37with Jalen Brunson continuing to be a leader on both ends of the court.
03:41His ability to score and create plays for teammates was evident
03:45as he tallied 27 points and led the Knicks' offense.
03:50Carl Anthony Towns was also impressive,
03:52contributing 21 points and 15 rebounds,
03:56making his presence felt in the paint and on the boards.
04:00Defensively, New York struggled to contain Boston's three-point shooting,
04:04allowing the Celtics to convert 50% of their attempts from beyond the arc.
04:09The Knicks also had difficulty with second-chance opportunities
04:13as Boston dominated the boards.
04:15Additionally, New York's heavy reliance on isolation plays
04:20and Jalen Brunson to generate offense left them predictable and easier to defend.
04:25New York has the opportunity to improve their defense,
04:29particularly closing out on Boston shooters.
04:32They need to be more aggressive in contesting three-pointers
04:35and tightening up their perimeter defense.
04:39On the offensive side, moving the ball more
04:42and incorporating Carl Anthony Towns and R.J. Barrett
04:45into the playmaking process will create a more balanced attack.
04:49Boston's offensive firepower combined with their defensive capabilities
04:53is a looming threat for New York.
04:56If the Celtics continue to shoot at a high rate from beyond the arc,
05:00it will be difficult for the Knicks to keep pace.
05:02Furthermore, New York must improve their free-throw shooting
05:06to stay competitive in tight games.
05:09New York's primary focus must be improving their defense.
05:13They need to contest Boston's three-point shooters more effectively
05:17and ensure they don't allow open looks from beyond the arc offensively.
05:21They should reduce their reliance on isolation plays for Brunson
05:24and integrate more ball movement.
05:27By involving Towns and Barrett more in the offense,
05:30they can reduce the predictability of their attack.
05:34Additionally, securing defensive rebounds will be critical
05:37to limiting Boston's fast breaks and second-chance opportunities.
05:42Free-throw shooting is also a priority.
05:45If the Knicks can improve this aspect,
05:47they could make the game tighter down the stretch.
05:50Game three showed that the Celtics have the depth
05:52and shooting ability to outpace the Knicks,
05:55but they must remain cautious of New York's ability to bounce back.
05:59The Knicks will need to make significant defensive adjustments
06:02and diversify their offense if they are to avoid going down 3-1 in the series.
06:08Both teams will be looking to make key adjustments heading into Game 4,
06:12and it promises to be another exciting matchup.
