So until further notice, the Knicks can’t be classified as contenders. They’re too far below the Celtics and Cavaliers to be taken seriously. Sunday was just the latest example. In three games against Boston, they’ve been outscored by 63 points and struggle to defend the 3-point line.
Jayson Tatum scored 25 points with 10 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 118-105 victory over the New York Knicks.
The New York Knicks have had absolutely zero answers for the Boston Celtics this season. These rivals have played three times so far, and each game has resulted in a double-digit win for the Celtics.
