Celtics reporters blame ‘the rain’ for Game 1 loss to Knicks
NY Post
Rain, rain, go away.
The dreary conditions in Boston for the Celtics’ shocking Game 1 loss to the Knicks came up in an NBC Boston postgame recap of what went wrong in the 108-105 overtime setback.
Hosts Chris Forsberg and Anny Chin discussed how the rain factored into the underwhelming crowd at the beginning of the contest, providing an atmosphere that did not meet the moment.
The weather tangent oddly began while discussing Kristaps Porzingis’ short stint due to his illness.
“Much like this crowd in general, it just didn’t have the same zest to start the game,” Forsberg said after referencing Porzingis’ 34-point outburst against the Knicks at MSG on April 8.
Chin responded: “I agree. I think it was the 7 o’clock start, that’s what I’m blaming. Seven o’clock on a Monday.”
