Boston Celtics Make History with Unprecedented NBA Record Over 2 Playoff Games

The Boston Celtics faced the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, suffering two consecutive defeats that established an ignominious NBA record. The Knicks capitalized on home court advantage, winning 108-105 in Game 1 and edging out 91-90 in Game 2, showcasing their resilience. Remarkably, Boston set a playoff record for missed three-pointers, accumulating 75 attempts over both games. This season's defending champions began as strong contenders after a 4-1 victory over the Orlando Magic but now face an uphill battle against an underdog Knicks team.
