NEW YORK — After shooting a frigid 25 percent from 3-point range over the first two games, the Celtics bombarded the Knicks from beyond the arc in Game 3.
They buried six of their first seven attempts from deep, and the lead began to swell as the shots kept falling. They built a 25-point halftime lead, and New York was unable to overcome the deficit in the 115-93 Boston triumph.
Jayson Tatum stepped into multiple pull-up threes with confidence at the top of the key as New York’s big men scrambled to get a hand in his face.
