Atlantic division rivals the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks meet Saturday night in the Big Apple. Both of these foes played Friday night, so they are each participating in the back end of a back-to-back. These two teams split four games against one another last season. It's always a fun night in the Garden when these two face off. Who will prevail?
The Boston Celtics hosted the Chicago Bulls on Friday night at home. They were looking to avenge a loss to the Bulls either this year in Chicago. It wasn’t easy but they managed to come away with a 123-119 win. The victory improved their record to 5-3. They are first in the Atlantic Division, one half game ahead of the Raptors.
