Game 2 replicated the story of Game 1, where the Celtics squandered a healthy lead and eventually lost in overtime. In Game 2, they were beaten 17-30 in the fourth quarter, resulting in the defeat. Joe Mazzulla's team has failed to impress fans in the first two games. Boston Celtics' followers have gotten vocal on social media.

The Celtics set an NBA record when they missed 45 3-pointers against the Knicks in Game 1, but the looks weren't necessarily bad shots.

As the series progresses, the Celtics face a critical juncture. A loss in Game 2 would not only put them in a 0-2 deficit but also shift the series to Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks have been formidable.
