Wsup Rady .. Thanks for the Game Thread .. Now, tonight is a must win Home-Game for the Knicks vs Celtics.
We are 0-3 vs Celtics this season, and tonight game we Knicks must make a stand at Home.
Al Horford is Out for tonight game.
Brunson & McBride & Big-Mitch will play tonight.
 
Wassup guys I’m not sure if it’s must win but it would be nice for confidence especially with the playoffs just around the corner. The Zinger is playing for Boston. Off to a good start!!
 
End of the First Quarter .. Knicks 28 - Celtics 24

Brunson/Hart/OG played the entire 12 minutes of the quarter.
KAT 12 pts, 5 reb
Brunson 10 pts
 
The KAT & Mitch lineup got a Knicks 9 pt lead early in the 2nd qtr.
KAT got 20 pts .. 50-41 Knicks lead .. 4 min left in qtr
 
We're in a math hole against this team, the reason they can hang around or blow us out really just comes down to the three. At a certain point it's just math, and in this case we're on the wrong side of it. They've taken 26, we've taken 15, if there were no three point line we'd probably be the best team in the league, but we just don't value the shot the way we should.
 
Half Time .. Knicks 58 - Celtics 52

KAT 22 pts, 9 reb
Brunson 12 pts

It's that time .. the 2nd half performance of the NBA elite teams our Knicks couldn't match their level this season

If Mitch give us a healthy 16 minutes .. we got a crunch time game down the stretch.
 
Two minutes into the 2nd qtr Celtics take their first lead in the game.
I hope this is not a re-peat episode
 
Hart-Attack plus Brunson's 3's having OG slashing, Deuce 3, and Mitch's Defense
Tied Game at 76 .. little over 3 min left in qtr
 
END of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 78 - Celtics 83

KAT 24 pts, 11 reb
Brunson 18 pts, 5 Dimes

Knicks put out a great defensive lineup the final minutes of qtr
