[Boston Sports Journal] - Celtics 3-point binge a rare loss of self-control, but a good reminder of what shots to chase

Like an overconfident boxer with an opponent on the ropes, the Celtics started head-hunting. After a 4-0 regular season and a big lead built while playing okay but not great basketball, the Celtics didn’t seem to have much reason to fear a Knicks comeback. Instead of putting in the hard work of attacking, bending the defense, and finding cracks, the Celtics took the easy way out and hoped good, but not great, looks from 3 would be enough to get the job done.
