纽约将于5月21日周三开始的东部决赛中对阵印第安纳，而波士顿则带着模糊的未来和薪资空间问题进入休赛期
纽约队在一场统治级的比赛中摧毁了波士顿的斗志，他们将凯尔特人的得分限制在30分以下，直到上半场仅剩三分钟时才勉强突破，并在第三节还剩几分钟时才突破50分，此时比赛早已失去悬念。虽然明星球员杰伦·布伦森(Jalen Brunson)在开场前1.5节有些退居二线，但卡尔-安东尼·唐斯(Karl-Anthony Towns)和更加渴望胜利的尼克斯队将凯尔特人挡在了油漆区之外，迫使他们投丢了大量远投，同时在进攻端肆无忌惮地惩罚对手。纽约队在上半场的积极拼抢得到了回报，抢下10个进攻篮板、4次抢断和3次盖帽，这极大地弥补了他们相对一般的投篮命中率，并最终在篮板球和投篮次数上取得了压倒性的优势。波士顿剩下的超级球星杰伦·布朗(Jaylen Brown)在比赛还剩14+分钟时就犯满离场。
纽约队的首发球员们都表现得非常均衡且高效。唐斯（21分12篮板）、米卡尔·布里奇斯(Mikal Bridges)（22分4篮板2盖帽）和布伦森（23分6助攻6篮板）得到了约什·哈特(Josh Hart)（10分11篮板11助攻）的有力支持——哈特完成了一次顽强的三双——以及OG·阿奴诺比(OG Anunoby)（23分9篮板2盖帽）。迪尤斯·麦克布莱德(Deuce McBride)（10分1盖帽）在上半场的爆发中发挥了重要作用。汤姆·锡伯杜(Tom Thibodeau)在第四节的垃圾时间里让一些首发球员继续留在场上。
布朗（20分6篮板6助攻7失误）几乎占据了波士顿在上半场惨败中近50%的产出，而他们的首发后卫朱·霍勒迪(Jrue Holiday)和德里克·怀特(Derrick White)在前两节的投篮命中率完全相同，都是7投1中。
第一节的节奏非常快，双方在最初的几分钟里互不相让。波士顿的布朗试图承担球队的组织重任，而纽约队则采取了更加平均主义的方式。正如预期的那样，双方的得分都很困难，但在第一节过半时，双方都进入了犯规加罚状态。唐斯频繁地受益于纽约队的积极拼抢，得分也达到了两位数。由于波士顿的外线投篮不稳定，他们的首发后卫又未能得分，纽约队抓住机会在第一节结束时以26-20领先。
第二节开始，纽约队打出一波7-0的小高潮，将领先优势扩大到13分，而没有布朗的凯尔特人继续艰难挣扎，几乎无法命中任何有威胁的投篮。尼克斯队在另一端毫不留情地攻击油漆区，并在几乎没有抵抗的情况下进行外线分球，以此来惩罚对手。布伦森的一对抛投和后撤步跳投将领先优势扩大到24分。即使在布朗封盖了阿奴诺比的投篮后，麦克布莱德仍然奋力抢到篮板球，并完成了一记双手扣篮。纽约队以27分的优势进入中场休息。
怀特的两记三分球预示着波士顿在下半场会有好的开局，但这只是昙花一现，因为纽约队也用三分球进行回应——既有三分线外的投篮，也有2+1。唐斯在艾尔·霍福德(Al Horford)身上打成的2+1使分差达到了37分。更糟糕的是，布伦森在本节中段造成了布朗的第五次犯规。
观察
- 花园球馆的季后赛是必不可少的。在上半场的最后一分钟，爆发出了“F * you. Boston”的呼喊声。在第三节的开场猛攻之后，呼喊声变成了“尼克斯六场拿下！”。在最后几分钟，尖叫声变成了“P.J.塔克！”
- 本场比赛最佳回合#1 ：阿奴诺比完成了他本场比赛两次盖帽中的第二次，尼克斯队迅速推进到前场，找到了位于右侧底角的空位布里奇斯——他的转换三分球使比分变为11-5。
- 本场比赛最佳回合#2 ：在第一节末段，当大多数纽约队防守球员都盯防他时，布朗在第一节末段给卢克·科内特(Luke Kornet)送出了一记漂亮的传球，后者完成了一次扣篮并造成了犯规。
- 本场比赛最佳回合#3 ：在上半场末段，麦克布莱德封盖了怀特的上篮尝试，哈特在转换进攻中顶住撞击，命中了一记令人印象深刻的2+1。
- 布里奇斯的三分球姿势每次看起来都略有不同。
- 由于没有看过太多唐斯在交易后的比赛，他在防守篮板上的能量水平引人注目。
- 在布伦森投中第二节的两个球后，我的妻子说“他像一头斗牛犬，不是吗？”
比赛回顾
比赛一开始，犹豫不决的布朗投丢了一个非常空的三分球，然后又传出了一个失误。唐斯和布里奇斯为纽约队打进了高难度的油漆区进球，但布朗通过命中一个三分球和一个转换上篮来稳住局势，帮助波士顿领先。几乎每一次进攻都有激烈的投篮和防守，这激发了花园球馆球迷的热情。唐斯的三分球因踢腿动作而被判无效。凯尔特人队的替补萨姆·豪瑟(Sam Hauser)很快领到两次犯规。布里奇斯随后也领到了第二次犯规，这导致米切尔·罗宾逊(Mitchell Robinson)上场，并受到了“砍鲨战术”的待遇。布朗的急停跳投将凯尔特人追到只差一分。唐斯、哈特和阿奴诺比在篮板球方面表现出色。在尼克斯队似乎又一次抢到进攻篮板后，唐斯命中了一记侧翼三分球，波士顿以6分的劣势结束了第一节。
纽约队在麦克布莱德的三分球和布里奇斯的打板投篮之后，迅速打出一波攻势，将领先优势扩大到11分。唐斯运球晃过了突然失效的霍福德，使比分变为33-20。怀特的第一个进球出现在比赛进行了15+分钟后，但很快就被阿奴诺比的三分球回应。在上半场进行到一半时，波士顿的三分球命中率惨不忍睹，只有16投3中，而尼克斯队则保持着16分的领先优势。在科内特完成了一次男子气概十足的2+1之后，哈特在另一端飞奔过他完成上篮。布伦森和唐斯随后凭借强硬的身体对抗打进了一些球，以保持对摇摇欲坠的凯尔特人的压力。尼克斯队是如何结束上半场的？尽管布伦森的传球弹到了唐斯的腿上，但他只是将球重新导向了角落里的麦克布莱德，后者轻松命中——尼克斯队64-37领先。
从暂停回来后，怀特连中两记三分球，为波士顿恢复了一丝希望。裁判漏判了霍福德的踢球，布里奇斯在篮下命中了一记后仰跳投。在布朗被吹罚进攻犯规后，布伦森在几秒钟后命中了一个后撤步三分球，尼克斯队的猛攻仍在继续。

Knicks take big bite out of Celtics in Game 6 blowout, 119-81
New York takes on Indiana in the conference finals starting Wednesday 5/21, and Boston goes into the offseason with an murky future and salary cap situation
New York took away Boston’s competitive will in a dominant performance where they held the Celtics below 30 until only three minutes remained in the first half and below 50 until minutes remained in the third quarter well after the game was no longer in doubt. While star Jalen Brunson took a bit of a backseat in the opening 1.5 quarters, Karl-Anthony Towns and the far hungrier Knicks kept the Celtics out of the paint and forced a large amount of misses from distance while punishing them on the offensive end with impunity. New York’s hustle throughout the first half was rewarded with 10 offensive rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 blocks that bolstered their moderate shooting and led to an overwhelming advantage in rebounds and field goal attempts. Boston’s remaining superstar Jaylen Brown fouled out with over 14+ minutes left in the game.
New York received balanced and potent efforts from its starters. Towns (21 points and 12 rebounds), Mikal Bridges (22 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks), and Brunson (23 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds) got great support from Josh Hart (10 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists) - who got a gritty triple-double - and OG Anunoby (23 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks). Deuce McBride (10 points and 1 blocks) figured prominently in the first half detonation. Tom Thibodeau kept some of his starters in for extended garbage time in the fourth quarter.
Brown (20 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 7 turnovers) had nearly 50% of Boston’s production in the first half beatdown from New York, while their starting guards Jrue Holiday and Derrick White shot an identical 1-for-7 in the first two quarters.
A frenzied pace carried the first quarter, as the teams traded blows over the first handful of minutes. Boston’s Brown tried to carry the playmaking for his team, while New York had a more egalitarian approach. While the points, as expected, were hard to come by, the teams ended up in the foul bonus halfway through the stanza. Towns was the frequent recipient of New York’s hustle to get into double digit scoring. With Boston’s outside shooting being inconsistent and their starting guards held scoreless, New York took advantage to get themselves a 26-20 lead after one.
A 7-0 run from New York to start the second period extended their lead to 13, and the non-Brown Celtics continued to struggle mightily to hit anything of consequence. The Knicks made them pay at the other end by relentlessly attacking the paint and on kickouts with little resistance. Brunson’s pair of floaters and stepback inflated the lead to 24. Even after Brown blocked an Anunoby attempt, McBride outhustled the Celtics to run down the carom and throw down a two-handed dunk. New York went to halftime up 27.
A pair of three pointers by White portended a good second half start for Boston, but that was short-lived, as New York got their scoring in threes - from behind the arc and on and-1s. Towns’ and-1 over Al Horford made it a 37-point game. To add insult to injury, Brunson drew a fifth foul on Brown midway through the stanza.
Observations
- Playoff games at the Garden are a necessity. In the last minute of the first half, chants of “F** you. Boston*” broke out. After their opening salvo in the third, the chants turned to “Knicks in six.” In the final minutes, the screams turned into “P.J. Tucker!”
- Sequence of the Game #1: Anunoby notched the second of his two early blocks, and the Knicks scurried upcourt to find an open Bridges in the deep right corner - his transition three made it 11-5.
- Sequence of the Game #2: With most of the New York defenders marking him, Brown dropped off a nice pass late in the first half to Luke Kornet for a dunk an and-1.
- Sequence of the Game #3: Late in the opening half, McBride erased a White layup attempt, and Hart absorbed a bump in transition to knock down an impressive and-1.
- Bridges’ three-point stroke looks slightly different each time.
- Having not seen much of Towns post-trade, his energy level on the defensive boards was noticeable.
- After Brunson’s pair of second quarter buckets, my wife says “he’s a bulldog isn’t he?”
Game Rundown
From the tip, a hesitant Brown bricked a very open three and then tossed an errant pass out of bounds. Towns and Bridges converted difficult paint buckets for New York’s first field goals, but Brown steadied himself by hiting a three and transition lay-up to put Boston up. The tightly contested shots and deflections occurred on nearly every possession and stoked the Garden fans’ fervor. Towns’ three was waved off as the officials whistled him for a leg kick. Celtics’ reserve Sam Hauser picked up two fast fouls. Bridges picked up his second foul moments later. which brought in Mitchell Robinson and the Hack-a-______ treatment. Brown’s pull-up three brought the Celtics within one. Towns, Josh Hart, and Anunoby were a handful on the boards. After what seemed like yet another Knick offensive rebound, Towns knocked down a wing three, and Boston left the first down six.
New York put up a quick flurry behind McBride’s three and Bridges’ banker to push the lead to 11. Towns crossed over a suddenly ineffective Al Horford to make it 33-20. White’s first points came 15+ minutes into action, but was quickly answered by an Anunoby three. Halfway through the frame, Boston was shooting a putrid 3-for-16 from three, while the Knicks sat on a 16-point lead. After Kornet’s manly and-1, Hart flew past him at the other end for a lay-up. Brunson and Towns proceeded to muscle their way into a handful of baskets to maintain pressure on the reeling Celtics. The Knicks’ end to the half? Despite Brunson’s pass bouncing off of Towns’ leg, he merely re-directed the ball to McBride in the corner for a swish - 64-37 Knicks.
Coming out of the break, White connected for a pair of threes to restore a glimmer of hope to Boston. The officials missed a Horford kick of the ball, and Bridges hit a fadeaway jumper in the lane. After Brown was whistled for an offensive foul, Brunson knocked down a stepback three on the Celtic seconds later and the onslaught continued in earnest.
