The Celtics overall went 20-for-40 from deep. Jayson Tatum went 5-for-9 from behind the arc, while Pritchard contributed five three-pointers on 10 attempts. The Celtics will now get the chance to even the series at 2-2 when both teams return to Madison Square Garden for Monday night's Game 4 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Game 2 looked a lot like Game 1 for New York with a 20-point deficit, a lopsided scoring run and a Mikal Bridges steal to ice the win.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Wednesday scored 34 points in three quarters as the Oklahoma City Thunder set NBA and team records in their 149-106 win over the Denver Nuggets, which tied the NBA Western Conference semi-final series at one game apiece.
