May 6th news In the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Celtics lost to the Knicks 105-108 overtime. After the game, Perkins commented on the Celtics' performance.

Perkins said: "As the champions, they should know more about adaptability, right? When the three-pointer is out, they should not stubbornly continue to shoot. Is the previous lesson not profound enough? Tonight they can clearly attack the inside, but when should they make up their minds to break through and layup?"

Then Perkins said: "Listen, the Knicks' defense is indeed excellent, but with the strength of a top scorer like Tatum, it should not be satisfied. For such an offensive choice. I have played side by side with many Hall of Fame players. When Pierce feels cold on the outside, he can always create free throw opportunities by fighting the inside. This is what Tatum should learn, especially when three-pointers frequently hit irons. "

In this game, the Celtics made 15 of 60 three-pointers, and 60 shots broke the playoff record in a single game. Previously, the Rockets had 58 times; 45 hit irons also set a new historical record.
