The Knicks, led by Tim Hadaway Jr’s 22 points have never led throughout the entire game but got behind their rivals 82-89 late in the third after trailing by 14 shortly after halftime.
The Celtics took them hard in the last act, ousting New York 16-29 as Brown went 3-4 from the field to score 8 of his total 21 in that period.
“You’re not going to win in this league giving up 30 points in every single quarter”
