The Celtics were reversed by 20 points and opened the door! Two generals were damaged in one battle. Tatum lost three points in a row and became a criminal.

On May 6, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Eastern Conference semi-finals, the defending champion Celtics lost to the Knicks 105-108 at home through overtime, and suffered a black start to the series.

The two teams played very anxiously in the first quarter, and the Celtics' offensive end was supported by Tatum, who had 13 points in a single quarter. After entering the second quarter, the Celtics played consecutive offensive climaxes, winning 15 points in a single quarter to widen the gap. After entering the third quarter, the Celtics once expanded their lead to 20 points. The Knicks then played two consecutive waves of 9-0 to narrow the score difference. From the middle of the third quarter to the early fourth quarter, the Celtics were beaten 28-9 in total. In the final quarter, Brunson scored consecutively and overtook the score, and the double-Tanhua led the Celtics to level the gap. Tatum and Brunson missed key balls in succession to enter overtime. The Celtics quickly fell into a passive position in overtime. With the last attack being intercepted by the opponent, the Celtics had no choice but to be reversed by 20 points.

The Celtics suffered a defeat today, and the star Tatum was to blame. In the whole game, Tatum made 7 of 23 shots, including 4 of 15 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws. Although he scored a total of 23 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, all of which were the highest in the team's three figures, his shooting efficiency was too low. Moreover, at the last moment of the game, Tatum missed key three-pointers, giving the Knicks a chance to tie the score. Tatum has also created many milestones in succession today. His career three-point shooting surpassed George and rose to 13th place in history, and his team's total score surpassed Pierce in the playoffs and rose to 5th place in the team's history.

In addition, Brown scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, White scored 19 points and 11 rebounds, Holiday scored 16 points and 6 rebounds, Prichard scored 13 points, and Horford scored 7 points and 7 rebounds.

For the Celtics, today's game was really tragic. In the first half, Celtics center Porzingis played for 13 minutes, made 0 of 4 shots, scored only 4 rebounds and 1 assist. After the end of the first half, Porzingis withdrew early due to illness. In the third quarter, Hauser sprained his feet in a defensive round, then limped back to the locker room, without returning in this game.

It is worth mentioning that since the first round of the playoffs last year, the Celtics have already had a good start in five consecutive series, and they finally won all, including 4-1 and 4-0 in four rounds. Today is their first black opening in the past six rounds of series.

According to the schedule, the Celtics and Knicks series G2 will be held on May 8. Can the Celtics equalize the score? Let's wait and see!
