NBA series, G3 will be held at the Knicks' home court. The Knicks currently have a psychological advantage of 2-0 in a big score. Can the Celtics burst out with potential in a high-pressure environment? Let’s analyze and predict!
The Celtics suffered two big 20-point reversals and trailed the Knicks by 0-2. In the second game on May 8, the Celtics led by 20 points in the third quarter, but suffered a defeat in the final quarter. Tatum made only 5 goals in 19 shots in the game, including 4 of 15 three-pointers, scoring only 13 points. This performance made him set an embarrassing double-game record of three-point shots and misses in a single game in the playoffs. Two stars Tatum and Brown are in a sluggish state, relying too much on inefficient individual singles, and at the same time, the rebound protection is not strong, allowing the Knicks to grab 15 frontcourt rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, Hauser's appearance was suspected due to a sprained right ankle. Although Porzingis was not on the injury list, his knee injury obviously affected his condition. He only played for 14 minutes in the second game. Although Holiday has returned from a right hamstring strain, his condition has not yet recovered to his best.

Knicks firmly suppressed the Celtics with their third-place defensive efficiency. Thibodeau's five-squad defense swap strategy successfully limited the Celtics' three-point shooting percentage, forcing Tatum and Brown into singles dilemma. Towns' outstanding performance in rebounding protection and low post support became the key to the game. The backcourt double guns composed of Brunson and Anunobi performed stably, while the forward defense group composed of Hart and Bridges successfully consumed the Celtics' physical fitness through unlimited switches. The Knicks' attrition tactics have achieved remarkable results. If the Celtics cannot adjust their strategy in time, they are likely to continue to repeat the mistakes of G1 and G2 in the following games.

The average data comparison of the two teams:
The Celtics average score 116.3, rebounds 45.3, assists 26.1, blocks 5.5, steals 7.2
The Knicks average score 115.8, rebounds 42.6, assists 27.5, blocks 4.0, steals 8.2
The two teams collided in the last five games in history. The Celtics won 3 wins and 2 losses. It is really not necessary to send out these two losses at critical moments!

ESPN gives a prediction chart, and predicts that the Knicks are slightly better!

Celtics average offense and have good defensive performances, and are even better than the Knicks. Why do they kneel for two consecutive times? The Knicks' tactics have been tried and tested against the Celtics, and have been thoroughly studied before the game!
