The opening match of the 2024/2025 season of the NBA It was presented as one of the most anticipated matches on the calendar of the best basketball league in the world, but the unstoppable offensive deployment of the Boston Celtics before the New York Knicks It deprived the meeting of emotion. Such was his superiority that Josh Hart, guard of the New York team, has requested a “drug test” for all players of the Massachusetts franchise.
And the current champions came to the game in full joy, after receiving his rings and the Larry O’Brien trophy by some crucial legends in the history of the Celtics, such as Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen or Bob Cousy.
Boston’s team surpassed the Knicks, scoring 29 three-pointers in their 1-0 win. 132-109, equaling the record for three-point shots scored in a single game in the entire history of the American basketball league.
The big difference between both teams was especially surprising given the defensive inability of the New York franchise, coached by the specialist Tom Thibodeauwhich has always prided itself on the solidity and rockiness of its templates. Furthermore, the Knicks had strengthened very well in recent months, highlighting the incorporation of the center of Dominican descent Karl-Anthony Towns.
After the game, Josh Hart, one of the starters on the city team that never sleeps, was incredulous with what happened on the court, and even asked for an anti-doping test for the Celtics players: “The NBA has to do a drug test on all of them. I have never seen anything like this”the escort joked.
Hart, immediately afterwards, did not hesitate to recognize the merit of the current champions: “You have to give them credit, they are already an explosive team, and with the contagious energy in the pavilion… They have played extremely well. We will analyze it, we will learn from our defensive mistakes, but it is the first game, 81 left“.
