Knicks vs Celtics: Game summary and key moments
Anytime the Knicks and Celtics clash, it’s a landmark game. Derrick White was back for a game where the Knicks were favored to upset the Celtics. And the opposite happened.
Jaylen Brown scored a season-high 42 points. That included the game-winning dunk in the final seconds that sealed the final score at 123-117. He had support from Derrick White who scored seven of his 22 points in the last minutes of the game and cut New York’s 15-point lead.
For most of it, it appeared to be New York’s game off of Mikal Bridges’ 35 points. He made 17 of those in the last quarter. Karl-Anthony Towns kept the Knicks in the lead for three quarters with 29 points.
Funnily enough, the Knicks had the best fourth quarter while the Celtics outplayed them statistically. Boston had the better defense with more rebounds, steals, and blocks with few turnovers. Knicks also gave up 25 points in turnovers.
The Knicks now have to restart their winning streak when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. The Celtics head to Washington on Thursday.
