## Resource

New York Knicks ride a generational three-point hot streak and timely defense to within reach of the NBA Finals, challenging assumptions about regular season dominance and playoff success. Are patience and the right matchups more important than ever in shaping a championship contender? Key role players like Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Landry Shamet fuel the Knicks’ surge, while questions swirl about outlier shooting luck, injury timing, and playoff resilience. In a new mailbag podcast, John Karalis of Celtics On SI explores how the Boston Celtics can learn from the Knicks’ late-season surge, urging patience amid roster tweaks and cautioning against knee-jerk trades involving core pieces like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Hot topics include Joe Mazzulla’s evolving three-point philosophy, Derrick White’s shifting offensive role, and the allure of Giannis Antetokounmpo in Boston. Will strategic patience or bold moves define the Celtics’ next run at a title?
