Fans react to the Celtics’ victory saving season in Game 3 against the Knicks

According to sports media F/W contributor Nico Martinez. The Boston Celtics won the crucial Game 3, avoiding an impossible lag. Down 0-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Boston Celtics today at Madison Square Garden was a must-win game. After losing at home, the Celtics face the possibility of being swept by the New York Knicks and if Game 3 is lost, they will be a devastating blow to their chances of winning the series. Instead, the Celtics saved their season with a 115-93 victory in the key game.

Tatum made a beautiful redemption game with 22 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists on a 40.0% field goal percentage after two tough games. Brown contributed 19 points, six rebounds and five assists, while Pritchard shot 23 points, four rebounds and two assists with 50.0%. On X , fans from all over the world posted their views on the Celtics and the entire series. Most of the reactions after the recent game have been relief from Celtic fans who have been feeling stressed since losing Game 2.

"This happens when you put some attention on the game," a Celtic fan wrote on X. "We're much better than them! Not over yet! Stay focused! We have to win Game 4!

After 20 points in two straight games, Celtic fans were worried after they were 20 points ahead again in Game 3. However, this time, the lead stayed and the Celtics proved they could finish the deal. "If the Celtics really tried the first 2 games after 20 points, they would lead 3-0," a bold fan wrote on social media.

A lot of Knicks fans have objected to the referees of this game, and some even claimed that this was the reason they lost the game. "The Knicks are the home team, you'd think the Celtics are the way the whistle sounds. Why does the defending champion need the help of the referee in the playoffs? A New York sports fan posted on X. There has been a clear shift in the momentum of Game 3, with many fans confident enough to announce that the Celtics will now win the series. "Celtics fans. Don't be arrogant and confident first," one fan wrote. "It's so far. We also need to win Game 4 100% or it's meaningless. Once we do that and draw 2-2 in Game 5, I'll feel a little better. Until then, we haven't done anything."

The Celtics won the championship last year with their shooting skills, depth and defense. With the same roster as before, it is believed that the Celtics can do it again, but now it is clear that the road ahead is by no means easy. With the New York Knicks being their latest rival, the Celtics face their toughest challenge yet, with the remaining games being very small and disturbing after losing their first two games at home. The key to winning Game 3 is the return of elite outside shots and the championship defense. The Celtics kept New York at 40.0 points with 93% shooting and limited the Knicks to just five 3-pointers (5-25). To maintain their dominance, the Celtics must maintain defensive pressure, and their two stars must solve the troubles of the first two games and must stand up on the offense.
