On May 17, Beijing time, in the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals G6, the Knicks defeated the Celtics 119-81 at home, eliminated the defending champions 4-2 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. In this game, all the Knicks played well, 4 players scored 20+ points, Brunson scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Bridges scored 22 points, Towns scored 21 points and 12 rebounds, Anunoby scored 23 points, and Hart scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to get a triple-double. On the Celtics side, Brown scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Horford scored 10 points, Holiday scored only 4 points with 1 of 8 shots, White scored 8 points, and Pritchard scored 11 points.
In the first quarter, the two teams played very closely. The Knicks were more efficient in attack after returning to their home court, and the Celtics were able to respond with Brown's strong performance. The difference between the two teams rose alternately and always maintained in one offensive round. At the end of the quarter, the Knicks began to gain momentum. Towns scored 5 points in a row and McBride hit a three-pointer. The team launched a 10-4 offensive. After the first quarter, the Knicks led the Celtics by 6 points.
In the second quarter, the situation on the field began to show a one-sided trend. The Celtics missed a lot of shots. Brown also made mistakes after being double-teamed. The Knicks seized the opportunity to play a full-scale performance. The team scored 38 points with 14 of 24 shots in a single quarter, while the Celtics only scored 17 points. The Knicks also relied on a net win of 21 points in a single quarter. They had established a 27-point lead before the end of the half.
In the second half of the game, the Celtics were powerless. The Knicks were obviously the better team. Brown fouled out 6 times before the end of the third quarter, and the score difference reached more than 30 points. In the last quarter, both teams entered the training time. In the end, the Knicks defeated the Celtics at home. The team successfully entered the Eastern Conference Finals and will compete with the Pacers for the Eastern Conference championship.
After the Knicks won this game, the team returned to the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years. Obviously, the team successfully formed a lineup last summer and got the two core players, Towns and Bridges, which greatly improved the team's competitiveness. In the semifinals, the team eliminated the defending champion Celtics, which also showed how strong the team is now. If it can be maintained, the Knicks will be a strong contender for the championship this season.
The Celtics faced many problems after being eliminated. Porzingis and Holiday's status declined sharply, and Tatum may miss the next season. How can they maintain their competitiveness in the championship? This is a test of the team's management's operational ability. There have been media reports that if the Celtics cannot defend their title this season, their lineup will change greatly this summer. Now the Celtics were eliminated in the semifinals, which is far from the expected results. I believe that the Celtics lineup will change to a certain extent this summer.
