NEW YORK (AP) — Mitchell Robinson looked so crushed by one airball on a free throw that he had his head in his hands early in Game 3 on Saturday.
The Boston Celtics continued with their strategy of fouling the dismal free throw shooter intentionally and kept on doing it long after it seemed necessary, sending the New York Knicks backup center to the line even with a 29-point lead in the second half.
Robinson finished 4 for 12, a big reason why the Knicks shot just 68.6% from the line in their 115-93 loss that cut their lead in the series to 2-1.
