With the odds stacked against them, the Knicks came out last night and put together their best team performance on the season, beating the Celtics in Boston, 117-106. On a night where Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah didn’t play and Carmelo Anthony shot 5 of 14 for 13 points, the Knicks mustered up a gutsy victory against a playoff caliber team.
Unfortunately, I did predict that the Knicks would fall short in Boston. However, I did allude to the fact that the Knicks can go out and show opposing teams that they are willing to battle and defend for a full 48 minutes.
