BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics and New York Knicks took the court for the opening game of the NBA season Tuesday night, a clash that Jalen Brunson said Tuesday morning was a fair barometer -- despite being the first game of the season -- for where the new-look Knicks stand against the defending champions.
But instead of a tense, dramatic affair, the only drama on this night here at TD Garden was watching Boston spend the final 8:54 of Tuesday's 132-109 win over New York trying -- and, ultimately, failing - to break the NBA record for 3-pointers made in a game.
