The New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics duke it out at the TD Garden on Thursday night.
The New York Knicks will be feeling much better after arresting a four-game slide with a 105-103 home win over the Cavaliers on Tuesday. Julius Randle got hot early and led the way with 36 points, 13 rebounds and four assists, RJ Barrett added 16 points while Jalen Brunson chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Knicks shot 49 percent from the field and 17 of 33 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 34 points in the first quarter to lead for most of the game, before they clamped down defensively and held the Cavaliers to just three points in the final 2:28 to escape with the narrow win in the end.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics look to have cooled off from their nine-game win streak as they are now hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling short to the Heat in a 98-95 road loss on Tuesday. Jayson Tatum led the team with 31 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists, Derrick White added 23 points with six assists while Robert Williams chipped in with 11 points, eight rebounds and two blocks. As a team, the Celtics shot 43 percent from the field and 10 of 32 from the 3-point line as they held the Heat to just 18 points in the second quarter to build a 14-point lead, but they couldn’t find their offense when it mattered most and scored just 13 points in the fourth quarter to allow the Heat off the hook in the end.
