In a disappointing Game 2 of the NBA playoffs, the Boston Celtics fell to the Philadelphia 76ers by 14 points, primarily due to their poor three-point shooting. The Celtics, who had a strong start with a 13-point lead in the first quarter, ended up shooting only 26% from beyond the arc, missing 37 of their 50 attempts. This game marked the 12th time in their last 161 games that they failed to shoot better than 26% from three, leading to losses in all those instances. The 76ers, in contrast, were more efficient, converting 19 of their 39 three-point attempts. Boston's inability to adjust their game plan when their shots are not falling has cost them significantly, including in last year's playoffs against the New York Knicks. The Celtics must learn from this defeat and find alternative strategies to secure victories in future games.
