The Boston Celtics are out. Done. The defending champs just got bounced in six games by a Knicks squad that smelled blood and didn’t let up. What started as a brutal, back-and-forth series ended in a 119-81 meltdown in Game 6. No more banners. No more “we’re built for this.” Just an early summer vacation.
After the loss, Jaylen Brown didn’t sugarcoat it. “Losing to the Knicks feels like death. But I was taught that there’s life after death. So we’ll get ready for whatever’s next.” That’s a hard quote—and you can feel the sting in it.
Jaylen Brown tried to hold it down, but once Jayson Tatum’s Achilles gave out in Game 4, the Celtics were climbing uphill on skates. The depth wasn’t enough. The system cracked. And while the Knicks stayed locked in, Boston slowly unraveled. Defending champs or not, they just got sent home.
