They also played tight defense down the stretch, forcing the Knicks into playing iso-ball and rushing their shots. Brown, who ended with 22, had an off shooting night and missed two massive free throws with 7 seconds left in OT that could&#8217;ve put the Celtics up one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just got to be better,&#8221; said Brown. &#8220;I&#8217;m a better basketball player than I played today, and those two missed free throws embodied the whole game for me. I didn&#8217;t get it going, didn&#8217;t give my team enough energy to win, and that&#8217;s what happens when you don&#8217;t come out and give your best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Jaylen Brown REACTS to His 2 Missed Free Throws | Celtics vs Knicks\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EqQiWw103jY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Celtics got good contributions from the bench and capitalized on second chance possessions, but they shot poorly from three and couldn&#8217;t match the Knicks offense in the paint.
