- The Boston Celtics routed the New York Knicks 115-93 on May 10, 2025, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in New York.

- The Celtics set a postseason first quarter high with a 36-20 lead, saw key contributions from Jayson Tatum with 22 points and Payton Pritchard with 23 points, and shot 20 for 40 on 3-pointers.
- Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 27 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 21 points and pulled down 15 rebounds. The team struggled from beyond the arc, making just 5 of 25 three-point attempts, and faced difficulties as Mitchell Robinson, a poor free throw shooter, was intentionally fouled by the Celtics.
- The Celtics' victory cut New York's series lead to 2-1 and set up a Game 4 on May 12, with Boston aiming to even the series before returning home for Game 5 on May 14.
