The Knicks are hoping for a comeback tonight.
After taking Games 1 and 2 with wild comebacks in a second-round playoff series against the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics, the Knicks’ offense struggled in Game 3, leading to a deficit that they just couldn’t come back from.
Tonight, they’ll try to right the ship before the series heads back to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday. The keys to that are shutting down the Celtics’ offense (especially when it comes to 3-point shots), while dialing up their own offense.
