Josh Hart suggests the Celtics' dominant display on opening night was so impressive, it might require a drug test!
The Boston Celtics were unstoppable with their 3-pointers, and despite the Knicks putting up a decent score, they simply couldn’t keep up. The Celtics not only cruised to a commanding victory, starting their season 1-0, but they also made history along the way.
It was their sharp shooting from beyond the arc that made the difference on the Celtics’ ring night. They knocked down 29 out of 61 shots from deep, tying the NBA record for most 3-pointers made in a single game. Knicks forward Josh Hart had a humorous take on the Celtics’ shooting spree.
“The NBA needs to drug test them dudes,” Hart said with a laugh, according to Knicks beat reporter James L. Edwards from The Athletic. “I ain’t ever seen anything like that.”
Though Hart’s comment was in jest, the Celtics did indeed break records with their shooting on opening night, sinking 29 triples against New York. His reaction highlights how overwhelming Boston’s performance was, as the Knicks were simply outclassed by a far superior team.
The Knicks now face the challenge of shaking off this heavy defeat. They’ll be looking to redeem themselves when they take on the Indiana Pacers on Friday at Madison Square Garden.
