Jayson Tatum and the Celtics have struggled to find daylight in the critical moments through two games vs. New York. Nobody could have predicted what would happen in the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals series between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks.

The Celtics now find themselves in a 0-2 hole vs. the Knicks in their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series currently underway, and will need to win four of the five remaining contests left in the East Semis series to advance to the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Finals to face the winner of the concurrent Indiana Pacers - Cleveland Cavaliers East Semis series.

The Celtics, who have missed 75 3-pointers through two games, entered as heavy favorites to win the series. But after blowing another big lead at home on Wednesday, sportsbooks are now slightly favoring the Knicks. New York will host Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden.
