Knicks’ Game 3 report card: Not many positives in ugly loss

Knicks’ grades from their 115-93 Game 3 loss to the Celtics on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden:

Jalen Brunson: D-

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. 

OG Anunoby: F

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

Karl-Anthony Towns: D

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