At the moment, the Celtics hold a slightly better record than the Knicks but New York are certainly putting up a spirited fight and are a very different team than they were only a season ago.
Being that they are division rivals, they are scheduled to meet four times in the season and have already battled once – with the result going in favour of the Celtics.
In that game, which was held at the TD Garden, the match-up was fairly close as the Celtics had a four-point lead after the first 12 minutes of play.
It was extended to 10 points by half-time as Boston exploded for a 29-point performance in the second quarter.
After the third quarter, the lead was up to 12 points but the Celtics knew it was still not a safe lead as the Knicks had options to explode and with Carmelo Anthony in the line-up, things can certainly swing the other direction.
And in the fourth, the Knicks caught their wind and outscored the Celtics for the first time, but it was too little too late as they fell 100-91.
In the defeat, Anthony scored 29 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 11-of-26 in the game. Kristaps Porzingis had 16 points but only shot 4-of-13 from the field.
For the winners, Isaiah Thomas led the Celtics with 21 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
