Celtics hope ‘clunker’ vs. Knicks is a one-off performance
Photo by Adam Glanzman/ It was a downright ugly display for the Celtics Sunday. It wasn’t difficult to label Sunday’s 105-75 loss to the New York Knicks as the Boston Celtics worst defeat of the season. The Celtics were an eye-sore offensively even with All-Star guard Kemba Walker returning to the lineup. Boston’s offensive output was the lowest it has ever been in the Brad Stevens era with the Celtics shooting a mere 29.8 percent from the floor.

Knicks trounce Celtics, 105-75, in Kemba Walker’s return
David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports The Celtics were blown out on their home floor. The rust expected after a week long layoff never presented itself for the Boston Celtics Friday in a win over the Orlando Magic. But it did appear in spades for Boston Sunday afternoon against the New York Knicks in a Murphy’s Law type of day for Celtics. The C’s were never able to overcome their sluggish play, shooting 29.8 percent (25-for-84) from the floor and a dismal 15.2 percent from three by hitting just 7-of-46 treys, as the Knicks snapped Boston’s five-game winning streak...
