The Boston Celtics reminded the world why they're the reigning NBA champions with a precision victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday, Oct. 22. Despite adding Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns to their roster this summer, Tom Thibodeau's team couldn't keep pace with Boston and were down big by the end of the first quarter.

The Celtics kept their foot on the gas throughout the remainder of the game, sending a message to the rest of the NBA as a result. Mazzulla's team dropped 29 of their 61 3-point attempts, tying the Milwaukee Bucks for the most threes made in an NBA game. Unfortunately, a cold stretch in the fourth quarter stopped the Celtics from making history for the second time that night.

In the latest episode of the "First To The Floor" podcast, the hosts reacted to Boston's dominance against a legitimate conference rival. They gave their takes and analysis as to why the Celtics were able to control the game from start to finish, and what we can expect moving forward.
