Ahead of the Boston Celtics' second-round series against the New York Knicks, all Joe Mazzulla wanted to talk about was the margins. The Celtics were heavily favored and had beaten the Knicks four times in the regular season, but their coach stressed that none of their advantages matter if they don't take care of the details.

The Celtics were in the mud with their missed 3-pointers as the playoff stage exacerbated their shortcomings in the Game 1 loss to the Knicks.

The New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics 108-105 in overtime in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Celtics missed 45 three-pointers during the loss, and Colin Cowherd says that this game is an outlier and that the Celtics will still win the series.
