The Boston Celtics didn’t just beat the New York Knicks, they annihilated them with a barrage of three-pointers that left everyone in the arena — and probably every Knicks fan watching at home — completely stunned.

I mean, 29 three-pointers? That’s crazy! The Celtics tied the NBA record for the most 3s in a game, and it felt like they couldn’t miss. Every time you blinked, it seemed like someone else on the Celtics was draining a shot from beyond the arc. It was as if they were in a video game, shooting at a hoop twice the normal size.
Setting the Scene
From the moment the game started, the Celtics were on fire. The Knicks tried to put up a fight early on, but Boston quickly took control. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the charge, hitting shot after shot. It was like watching a basketball clinic. Every pass was crisp, every move calculated, and when it came to shooting, the Celtics were flawless.
As the game progressed, the crowd in Madison Square Garden, which is known for its passionate energy, grew quieter. You could feel the tension in the air as the Knicks just couldn’t keep up. Every time the Knicks made a move to close the gap, the Celtics would hit another 3-pointer, pushing the lead even further.
Breaking Records
What made this game even more special was how the Celtics managed to tie the NBA’s all-time record for the most 3-pointers in a single game — 29. I couldn’t believe my eyes! It’s not every day you witness a team reaching that level of shooting excellence. Players like Tatum, Brown, and even role players like Sam Hauser, were locked in from deep. It didn’t matter if they had a hand in their face or were wide open — the shots kept falling.
For the Knicks, this game was a nightmare. No matter what they tried, they couldn’t stop the Celtics’ relentless attack from downtown. The defense was stretched thin, and every time the Knicks scrambled to cover someone, another Celtics player would be left wide open. It was a masterclass in modern NBA basketball, where the 3-point shot reigns supreme.
The Aftermath
When the final buzzer sounded, the Celtics walked off with a comfortable win, and the Knicks were left scratching their heads. This was more than just another regular-season game — it was a statement. The Celtics showed that they are serious contenders, and if they can shoot like this consistently, they’ll be tough to beat.
As for the Knicks, well, it’s back to the drawing board. There’s no doubt they’ll be reviewing the tape from this game to figure out how everything went so wrong. But for now, the Celtics get to bask in the glory of their record-tying performance, and the Knicks will have to lick their wounds and prepare for the next battle.
What’s Next?
If you’re a Celtics fan, you’ve got to be feeling good right now. This game proved that when Boston is firing on all cylinders, they are almost unstoppable. It’s early in the season, but if the Celtics keep playing like this, it’s going to be a fun year for Boston fans.
As for the Knicks, this game might serve as a wake-up call. They have talent, but they’ll need to figure out how to slow down teams with firepower like the Celtics. The NBA season is long, and there’s plenty of time to adjust, but games like this one can sting for a while.
