Celtics Fall To Knicks 85-78 In Game 1

(Carmelo and Paul adressing the crowd. #BostonStrong)

In the 1st quarter both teams went back and fourth but the Celtics went on a run and Green hit a 3 at buzzer to give Celtics a  29-26 lead. Same in the 2nd and the Celtics had a 4 point lead going in the half. In the 3rd both teams started playing better defense and it was a 3 point Celtic lead going to the 4th and thats when collapse happened. The Celtics would only score 8 puny points i the 8th and the Knicks went on to win 85-78. Lets look at the stats:


Brandon Bass: 4 points and 10 rebounds

Jeff Green: 26 points and 7 rebounds

Kevin Garnett: 8 points and 9 rebounds

Avery Bradley: 15 points and 4 assists

Paul Pierce: 21 points and 7 assists

Bench: 4 points all from the free throw line and from Lee


Unexcusable. The Celtics had a chance to steal game 1 but the turnovers cost us. The bench was doing nothing our defense was doing pretty good but no offense. Which makes game 2 a MUST win if we want a chance.
