Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown didn't really have an explanation for why the shots weren't falling, but they did acknowledge the team could have been more aggressive in attacking the basket.

Despite holding a 16-point lead at halftime, the Boston Celtics lost in game one of their Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup against the New York Knicks. Boston went ice cold on the perimeter, but failed to adjust.

The Celtics missed an NBA playoff record 45 threes in their Game 1 loss to the Knicks on Monday night. It was apparent that the Celtics' "live and die by the three" mantra cost them dearly, but equally shocking was their refusal to alter course.
