The Celtics had the best offense in basketball for the first half of the season, but they have slowly shifted back to being a defensive-minded team. Over their last 15 games, Boston is just 16th in the NBA in offensive rating, but the team is up at fourth in the league in defensive rating. Now, the Celtics face a Knicks team that is 30th in the NBA in pace of play over the last 15 games, and the Celtics don't exactly play much faster. That makes it hard to believe this will be anything but a rock fight.
