Boston Celtics will look to tie the playoff series when they face the New York Knicks in crucial Game 4 on Monday night. The defending champions improved from their shooting struggle and defeated the Knicks 115-93 in Game 3 to draw first blood in the series. However, it’s again a chance for the Knicks to go 3-1 in the conference semifinals before heading to Boston.

Five Celtics players recorded at least 15 points in the previous game and they improved their 3-point shooting. Celtics were 20-for-40 from 3-point range and Tatum had a best outing which is a good sign for them. Boston would look to go home with a 2-2 scoreline but a 3-1 deficit will add extra pressure on them.

On the other hand, the Knicks witness first setback in the series and it could be a series-defining if they drop one more on Monday. New York were shooting 5-of-25 from 3-point range and conceded a 25-point lead at halftime. They pulled off a 20-point comeback in Game 2 but couldn’t replicate the same in home game. The trend of road teams winning in the playoff continues and the Knicks would look to change this time.
