Celtics’ Playoff Fate Hangs by a Thread: Can They Escape a Shocking Collapse Against the Knicks?
This year, the Celtics ratchetted up the 3-point volume even more. The Celtics led the league with 42.5 last season; that number ballooned to 48.2 this season. They shot 5.8 more 3s per game than the team with the second-most attempts (the Golden State Warriors).
Could this be too much of what is normally a good thing? The Celtics find themselves down 2-0 to the Knicks after two stunning fourth quarter collapses.
Only six teams in NBA history have come back to win a series after losing the first two games at home and five of those comebacks came in the first round. The 1993-94 Houston Rockets are the only team to achieve this comeback later in the playoffs, when they beat the Phoenix Suns in seven games after dropping the first two at home.
