Boston Celtics destroy New York Knicks with 29 three-pointers!

Brutal beating by Boston Celtics against the New York Knicks in the opening of the NBA season 2024/25. The Massachusetts team, the current champions, wanted to make it clear from the start that last year's plan works and that they intend to do more, tying the record for three-pointers in a game with 29 to eventually win 132-109.

Interestingly, Al Horford matched the Bucks' 2021 record with 8:54 left when the game was already destroyed, missing the last 13 attempts, including 3 air balls and other low-quality shots when the game was already decided. Nonetheless, there was no competition; the Celtics scored 10 out of 16 in the first quarter, sealing the game completely. Besides the 29 three-pointers, they finished with 50% field goal shooting, 33 assists, and only 3 turnovers throughout the game. The Knicks ended with 11 three-pointers out of 30 (almost the same as the attempts of the New Yorkers).

Jayson Tatum was by far the standout player with 37 points, shooting 14 for 18, 8 for 11 from beyond the arc, 10 assists, and 4 rebounds in just 30 minutes of play. His dominance was incredible. Derrick White added 24 points and went 6 for 10 from three-point range, Jaylen Brown scored 23 points with 5 of 9 from long distance, and Jrue Holiday with 18 points hitting 4 of 6 three-pointers. Al Horford, part of the starting five, made 3 of 5 three-pointers. Absolutely amazing.

For the Knicks, a bitter debut for Karl-Anthony Towns (12 points and 7 rebounds) and Mikal Bridges (16 points). The standout performer was Jalen Brunson with 33 points. Off the bench, McBride also contributed 22 points.
