The Boston Celtics continue to struggle in their playoff series against the New York Knicks, facing a devastating 0-2 deficit after another poor shooting performance. After setting an NBA record for three-point shooting ineptitude in Game 1, the Celtics failed to improve in Game 2, hitting only 10 of 40 attempts from beyond the arc. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White led the team in three-point attempts but could not find their rhythm, with Tatum connecting on just 1 of 5 shots. This disappointing trend marks the first time in postseason history that a team has back-to-back games shooting 25% or worse from three-point range with at least 40 attempts.

Fans are growing restless as calls for Coach Joe Mazzulla's dismissal increase. The Celtics had previously shown their ability to perform on the road, finishing the season with an impressive 33-8 record away from Boston. Yet, heading into crucial Game 3, it appears the Celtics have a mountain to climb if they hope to keep their championship aspirations alive against a resilient Knicks team.
