If there’s one thing that shakes the very foundation of a reigning NBA champion, it’s a sudden crash in shooting efficiency—especially when you’ve got a 20-point lead in a playoff game. Monday night’s clash between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks felt like watching a thriller unravel in slow motion. The Celtics, champions still in their crown, looked less like the juggernauts we’ve come to revere and more like a shooting gallery plagued by misses at the worst possible moments. And when your bread and butter is the three-point shot—as it’s been all season—dropping from a usual 38 percent on open looks to a shimmering 25 percent raises some serious eyebrows. So, what really went wrong? Was it just an off night, or a sign of something deeper? And, more tantalizingly, can the Celtics recalibrate fast enough to silence the doubters come Game 2? Let’s dig into the stats behind the stumble and ponder if Boston’s famed resilience can fire back before the Knicks make this series their own.
