The Boston Celtics avenged their Monday night loss to the Charlotte Hornets with a . . . 117-109 loss against the New York Knicks. The Celtics were led by Kyrie Irving who posted 22 points and 13 assists (one shy of his career-high). Trey Burke, of all people, led the Knicks with 29 points and 11 assists off the bench.
This game did not start well. For the second game in a row, the Celtics started a lineup with Kyrie Irving, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and Aron Baynes, but the team continued to jump into a first-quarter deficit.
