After the Knicks’ second 20-point comeback win put them ahead 2-0 against the Celtics, players like OG Anunoby and Josh Hart acknowledged the need for improvement, focusing on defensive rebounding, better involvement of Karl-Anthony Towns, and playing a full 48 minutes. Boston has dominated offensive rebounds despite ranking poorly in the regular season, which the Knicks need to address, while Towns has been underutilized, needing more touches to capitalize on mismatches. To secure the series, the Knicks must enhance their overall effort and execution in upcoming games.
