The New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics, 109-94, on Monday night at Madison Square Garden. The Celtics may have come into MSG with the NBA’s best record, but they certainly didn’t look like the better team, as the Knicks built a double-digit lead in the first quarter and kept Boston at bay the rest of the evening.
The Knicks looked like they might run away with it in the second quarter as they built a 20-point lead, but these Celtics are dangerous as hell — they quickly broke off a 12-0 run to bring the deficit back to eight.
