Knicks’ grades from their <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/10/sports/knicks-completely-crumble-at-garden-as-celtics-dominate-game-3/">115-93 Game 3 loss to the Celtics</a> on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden:

Struggled until the fourth quarter, when the game was out of hand and the scoring was meaningless. Dropped a team-high 27 points, but this was his worst playoff performance. Also committed four turnovers.&nbsp;

A total nonfactor on offense with just two points on 1-of-6 shooting and couldn’t stop the Celtics from burying 3s.&nbsp;

Inefficient shooting (5-for-18) and was targeted on defense in pick-and-rolls.
