BOSTON — After a brutal overtime loss in Game 1, it’s fair to call Wednesday’s showdown against the New York Knicks a “must-win” for the reigning champion Boston Celtics.
The C’s shot 15-for-60 from 3-point range en route to a 108-105 defeat at TD Garden. They’ll look to make it up to the home crowd and even the Eastern Conference semifinals series at 1-1 before it shifts to New York.
Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis is available for Game 2 after leaving Game 1 with an illness. Sam Hauser is out after sustaining a right ankle sprain in Monday’s loss.
