BOSTON -- The New York Knicks entered this weekend hoping to show they'd made strides in matching up with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, the cream of the crop in the Eastern Conference this season.
Instead, after a 37-point shellacking at the hands of the Cavaliers in Cleveland Friday, followed by a 118-105 loss to the Celtics here inside TD Garden on Sunday afternoon -- one that Boston led by 27 and was in total control for the vast majority of the action -- New York admitted it has a long way to go to catch its rivals after falling to 0-5 against Boston and Cleveland this season.
