The Boston Celtics will make the trip to Manhattan to face the New York Knicks in their home arena of Madison Square Garden on Saturday (May 10) morning for Game 3 of their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series after dropping Games 1 and 2 to the Knicks at TD Garden.
If the Celtics are to avoid falling into the dreaded 0-3 series deficit from which no team has ever emerged victorious in league history, they will need to play better in the second half of the contest, a stretch they have lost two 20-point leads in as many games earlier in the East Semis.
