After falling behind 2-0 in their second-round series against the New York Knicks, the Boston Celtics had quite the response. They went in to Madison Square Garden to grab a dominant wire-to-wire victory with a final score of 115-93. Boston led by as many as 31 points, and didn’t let their lead get below 20 in the second-half, a very welcomed contrast to the previous two games in this series, both of which they blew 20-point leads in.
The Celtics put together their best offensive performance of the series by far in Game 3.
