May 10, 2025; New York, New York, USA; Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (9) and New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (32) fight for a rebound in the first quarter during game three of the second round for the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Jayson Tatum finished with 22 points, nine rebounds and seven assists and the Boston Celtics pulled away for a 115-93 win over the host New York Knicks on Saturday afternoon in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series.
Payton Pritchard scored a team-high 23 points off the bench for Boston, which cut the Knicks’ lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. Jaylen Brown scored 19 points and Derrick White had 17.
Jalen Brunson scored 27 points on 9-for-21 shooting to lead the Knicks. Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 21 points and 15 rebounds.
After struggling to score in the first two games of the series, the Celtics found their rhythm on offense. Boston shot 48.2 percent (40 of 83) overall and 50 percent (20 of 40) from 3-point range, and New York shot 40 percent (32 of 80) from the field and 20 percent (5 of 25) from beyond the arc.
Tatum made a basket to put Boston on top 112-89 with 2:40 remaining. He assisted on a 3-pointer by Al Horford on the next possession, and Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla rested his starters for the remainder of the game with the score out of reach.
The Celtics led 96-70 at the end of the third quarter. Boston led by as many as 31 points after Pritchard made a basket with 1:42 to go in the quarter, and the Knicks trimmed slightly into the deficit by scoring the final five points of the quarter on an alley-oop dunk by Mitchell Robinson, a floating jump shot by Brunson and a free throw by Robinson.
Boston sprinted to a 36-20 lead at the end of the first quarter. Pritchard drove the ball across half court and hit a baseline jumper as time expired to put the Celtics on top by 16.
By halftime, the Celtics increased their lead to 71-46. Brown buried a 3-pointer to put Boston at the 70-point mark with 30.5 seconds left in the half, and he made one of two free throws in the closing seconds to give the Celtics a 25-point advantage.

Reprezentace se fotila, Kondelík se loučil. Zraněný Kundrátek trénuje bez úlev
Herning (Od našich zpravodajů) - Do tréninkové haly opět dorazili autobusem a už v plné zbroji. Při výstupu na hokejisty čekalo trio českých fanoušků v dresech Pastrňáka a Krejčího a právě s největší reprezentační hvězdou se rovněž vyfotili, stejně jako s vysokým útočníkem Adamem Klapkou, jehož vedení týmu v úterý večer dopsalo na soupisku.Pak následovalo společné focení, které organizoval manažer týmu Milan Hnilička. Toho se zúčastnil i Jáchym Kondelík, po jeho konci však z ledu zmizel, na střídačce se objal a rozloučil s kustody a zřejmě už dnes zamíří do Česka, kde má podstoupit operaci.Naopak Tomáš Kundrátek, který si rovněž ze zápasu s Norskem odnesl zranění a proti Dánsku nehrál, na ledě zůstal a trénuje. U něho je tedy situace mnohem pozitivnější.Trénink bude trvat zhruba do 15.45 h. Po něm se hráči i trenéři opět přesunou do hlavní haly, kde prozradí více o plánech s náhradou za Kondelíka. Podle informací Sport.cz ale není ve hře, že by dorazil narychlo nějaký hráč z Evropy, […]
