The Boston Celtics have a tougher task in the New York Knicks for their Eastern Conference Semifinals, than they faced with the Orlando Magic in the opening round of this year's playoffs. Boston was able to take Orlando's best shot and finish their series in five games, meanwhile the Knicks stole the first game of the Semifinals on the road at TD Garden.
In a game where the Celtics missed 45 3-point attempts, while shooting a total of 65 from long range, the defense felt different between Orlando and New York especially when shooting from deep.
