Boston Celtics on Monday saw the shot after the 3-point Arc Miss the Mark after a shot, allowing New York Nix to bring back his way to win a thrilling game 1.
After the game, Keltics Guard Jelane Brown had a harsh evaluation of the team’s approach.
Celtics took a 20-point lead to the NBA playoff record 45 3-pointers in 108–105 overtime loss in game 1 of its playoff series. Talking to reporters after the game, Brown warned that as top seeds at the Eastern Conference, Celtics need to work hard to create opportunities on crime rather than launching only 3-pointers.
“We can’t just set fire to break the speed." Brown said.
Brown criticized his team for being decent in the second half, scored only 39 points and did not work hard to get good opportunities.
"I felt as if we settled in the second half," He said.

Center Crystaps Porzingis had Celtics shorthand after leaving the game due to a disease. Cultics head coach Joe Mazullah said after the game that his absence left a large hole, but said that the team should have been able to rally in his absence.
“Obviously it affects the game with its ability at both ends of the floor,” said Mazullah. “This is no excuse. We had a lot of opportunities. … Hopefully he is ready for Game 2."
