While the Knicks and their fans appeared ready to take a 3-0 series lead, the Celtics did everything they could to ensure they got on the board in this series. The Celtics looked more like the team we've seen throughout the season.

Boston's dive-and-kick game is a serious weapon. Every member of the team's top-eight rotation can attack off the bounce or on the catch. Furthermore, all of them have legitimate scoring gravity. So, when the Celtics attack the paint, the defense usually collapses or overhelps, creating open shooting opportunities elsewhere on the court.
