The 6th game between the Knicks and the Celtics semi-finals in the NBA playoffs has ended, and we have seen the results. No one expected that the key G6 would show a one-sided situation. Although the Celtics once tried to catch up points, they were still behind in the end. Losing the G6 series 2:4, they were eliminated, and as defending champions, they still haven't been able to go further this season. Injuries are certainly one of the factors, but the team has other problems. The defending champion fell! The Celtics were eliminated 2-4, Brown was unable to support himself, and the team may be dismantled during the offseason. After the game started, the Celtics were once in a stalemate with the Knicks with Brown's performance, and they went from 6 points behind to only one point away, but then the Knicks firmly grasped the lead and scored a 6-point lead in the first quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics were scored a 6:0 score difference to two points. Although the team tried to chase points, the offense was stagnant and could only rely on free throws to score for 8 minutes and scored only in single digits. Although they once scored consecutively in a single quarter at the end of the quarter and scored 17 points in a single quarter, their defensive end allowed the Knicks to score 38 points in a single quarter, and they were already 27 points behind at the end of the half. This 27 points also made the Knicks set his own record.

At the beginning of the second half, the Celtics were hit 5:0 by their opponents. Although he hit two consecutive three-pointers, the Knicks were always able to respond. After Brunson made a three-pointer, the Celtics were already 31 points behind. The Celtics' offense once again stagnated and was beaten by the Knicks 6:0 again. At the critical moment, Brown left the court with six fouls and ended with three quarters, and the Celtics were 35 points behind. In the final quarter, the Celtics recovered for a while and saw the opportunity to narrow the score gap, but the Knicks stabilized the situation and maintained the advantage under the leadership of Brunson. In the end, the Celtics lost the record series and were eliminated 2:4.

In this game, the Knicks performed in multiple points, with all the five starting players scoring double-digit points, and 4 players even scored 20+; Brunson made 8 of 14 shots and scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists; Towns had a double-double score of 21 points and 12 rebounds, Anunoby scored 23 points and 9 rebounds, Bridges scored 22 points and 4 rebounds, and Hart scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists triple-double scores; led by the five starting players, the Knicks firmly grasped the lead and maintained the advantage until the end; after more than 20 years, he stepped into the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals again. It has to be said that the Knicks are expected to break out of the East this season and enter the finals.

The Celtics obviously did not perform in the previous game. Except for Brown, the other players performed poorly, but Brown left the game in the third quarter; he only scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game. In addition, the remaining four starters performed poorly on both offense and defense, and Holiday only made 1 of 8 shots and 3 of White made 11 shots; although some players on the bench stood up to score, their help was very limited, and there was still no way to help the team further narrow the score gap. In the end, they suffered a 38-point defeat and were eliminated.

The defending champion Celtics fell in the second round and missed the match. For them, although Tutam's injury is one of the main factors for the team to be eliminated, more internal problems in the team, such as Holiday's decline, and the instability of other players including Prichard, White and others, the Celtics will also usher in a major lineup adjustment in the offseason, because previous news revealed that no matter what results the team will achieve this season, it will not affect their offseason lineup adjustment.
