Boston defeated the New York Knicks 115-93 in Game 3 of the NBA's Eastern Conference Playoff semifinals (best-of-seven) at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York, USA, on the 11th (Korea time).
Boston, which had won two consecutive games, laid the foundation for its counterattack with one win and two losses.
Boston is a strong favorite this season. 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. Gave Cleveland the highest winning percentage in the East, rated below Oklahoma City in the West, but still strong. '
In particular, he is the defending champion last season. The experience of surviving to the end is intact in key players. For this reason, experts say Boston is the closest team to winning the East.
Jason Tatum (22 points), Jaylon Brown (19 points), Derek White (17 points), and Peyton Pritchard (23 points) played well for Boston.
The one-two punches are Tatum and Brown, but Boston's unique multi-handler system. In other words, it reduces the dependence of the core and the team's performance is strong.
However, Tatum is revealing his chronic weakness in the playoffs. Weak in clutch situations, and the same goes for this series. It was one of the key reasons for the painful upset loss in the second game.
However, Boston made 20 of 40 3-pointers on the day.
In the first and second games, Boston had a come-from-behind loss. The key culprit was the three-point shooting success rate. It was a 25% success rate in the first two games. However, it was a whopping 50 percent on this day. I tried 40 and made 20.
In the end, it was overwhelmed in firepower. In the end, he won the game by 22 points without much chance. However, it is worrisome that the team, which is considered the favorite of Dongbu, has mixed feelings about the success rate of three-point shots.
On days when the three-point shot explodes, it is a big win, and on days when it is not, it is a reversal.
Of course, from Boston's point of view, the 3-point shooting process is not bad. Because it's a multi-handler system, and it doesn't just depend on individual capabilities, it creates 3-pointers with organic handling and 2-to-2 and attack options derived from it.
However, for Boston, which has good objective power, it can be a bet on the success rate of a three-point shot that depends on the shooting condition of the day. Boston's 3-point shooting dilemma is emerging as a key variable in the short-term.
