Not to scar Celtics fans any more than they are, but yesterday’s loss to the Knicks at home was literally one of the worst this century. According to Sean Grande:
- Worst home loss since March, 2007
- 75 points matched lowest score in Brad Stevens era
- The Celtics’ worst shooting game in 17 years
- 37-point deficit, largest at home since 2003
Boston never held the lead as New York beat the Celtics for the first time since November, 2018. Where did it all go wrong?
Poor start
The Celtics were knocked back on their heels immediately and were playing catch-up all day.
