Mitchell Robinson's weakness at the free-throw line was on full display during Game 2 between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.

Robinson has a knack for being one of the best defensive centers in the NBA, especially for the Knicks. His size, rebounding and shot blocking elevates the New York defense to another level. However, one area usually holds him back from getting more minutes, which is free throws.

The moment in question took place with 8:27 remaining in the fourth quarter. Boston led 84-70 as Robinson went to the line. However, his attempt was quite poor as he didn't even hit the rim.
