Celtics Set Unforgettable NBA Playoff Record by Missing 45 Three-Pointers

The Boston Celtics rely heavily on their trio of sharpshooters, a strategy that has propelled them to 61 victories and the Eastern Conference's No. 2 seed. However, their reliance on the long-range shot proved detrimental in Game 1, where they suffered a shocking loss to the New York Knicks, missing 45 three-pointers. Despite leading by 20, Boston was unable to regain momentum, finishing the game with a dismal 10-for-37 from beyond the arc. Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns noted their missed shots were atypical.
