Rome, 17 May (LaPresse) – The Celtics' latest NBA title reign was short-lived after the Knicks' victory in Game 6 of the second round. Even with Jayson Tatum out with an injury that ended his season earlier this week, the Boston Celtics still believed they could find a way to win. That belief ended with 1:49 left in the third quarter of Game 6 on Friday night, when coach Joe Mazzulla pulled his starters with the New York Knicks leading by 41 points. The Knicks went on to win 119-81 and advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
