Wednesday, January 31, 2018. It was a cold and blustery night in Boston, Massachusetts, and the New York Knicks were in town for a mid-week matchup. The Knicks were 23-28, while the Celtics were exceeding expectations at 36-15, but dealing with the injuries of Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart, and Shane Larkin. In professional sports, absences often provide opportunity. Little did we know, this one would be the start of something special.
Terry Rozier got his first career start that night, going 6/14 from the field and finishing with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.
