New York played the Boston Celtics, the defending Eastern Conference champions, down to the final seconds, losing only when Ray Allen — the author of countless memorable playoff moments — got the ball and a little open space at the arc.
Allen, the N.B.A.’s career 3-point leader, took a pass from Paul Pierce and sent the ball through the net with 11.6 seconds left, sending TD Garden into a happy frenzy. Carmelo Anthony missed a deep 3-pointer over Pierce seconds later, and the Celtics danced away with an 87-85 victory to open this first-round series.
As the buzzer sounded, Allen spiked the ball and was mobbed by teammates. The Knicks were left to ponder a grand missed opportunity after leading for most of the second half and blowing a 3-point lead in the final minute.
Celtics, way to pull out an awesome win in Boston!! Ray Allen congrats on that 3 pointer after all you are the N.B.A.'s career 3-point leader. Allen's execution on all his shots keeps the fans watching and even more excited for what could come next during the game.
Celtics fans are looking forward to hopefully another playoff win tonight! Way to go Boston!!
