If the Celtics can grab Game 4, all the narratives around them from the past few days will end. Boston has been catching a lot of heat from people around the NBA for how the first two games of the series went.

Boston is a very confident group, and they showed excellent poise in Game 3 on the road. However, the Celtics know that this series is far from over, and the Knicks are going to respond.

It will be up to the Celtics to meet New York in that response and show why they are the defending champions. Boston did what they needed to do in Game 3, but the real challenges lie ahead as this series continues to unfold.
