    The Celtics can get back to square one tonight, as a win in a crucial Game 4 against the Knicks would restore Boston’s home court advantage in the Eastern Conference semis. After authoring consecutive collapses of 20-plus points in the first two games at TD Garden, the Celtics showed up for a must-win Game 3 like the season was on the line — after all, it probably was — en route to a 22-point blowout at Madison Square Garden.

    Right, so, more of that Game 3 stuff, maybe? Shooting 50 percent from three certainly helped, but do the Celtics need all that to beat the Knicks? Probably not. Anything but the 25-percent horror shows/late-game meltdowns/handing-the-ball-directly-to-Mikal-Bridges-on-final-possessions nonsense Boston managed in the first two games and we’d probably be talking about brooms tonight instead of a potentially tied series. But hey, them’s the breaks, and here we are.

    Good news: The Celtics have gone a full 36 hours without blowing a 20-point lead. Sure, they haven’t played since Wednesday, but little victories are important. Boston has another day to shake off the horrors of becoming the first team in NBA history to blow 20-point leads in back-to-back playoff games (you may have heard about this). “I take full ownership of the way that I’ve played in this series,” Tatum said. “And I can’t sugarcoat anything. I need to be better.

    Or — and hear me out — maybe they didn’t shoot enough threes? The Celtics fell to the Knicks in Game 1 on Monday, blowing a 20-point lead to lose in overtime at TD Garden. The Celtics missed 45 (!) 3-pointers, setting a playoff record for futility from the arc. Boston chucked up enough bricks to build sufficient housing in Somerville to make living there affordable.

    The wait is over: The Celtics and the Knicks are set to make their opening moves in Monday’s Game 1 at TD Garden. It’s the first playoff matchup between the two since 2013, when the Knicks sent the Celtics spiraling into a rebuild in the first round (the rebuild took a bit, but it went pretty well). Boston is a heavy favorite, having lost to the Knicks just once in the past two years.
