Knicks vs Celtics Recap

New York beat Boston 111-89, building a 22-point lead by the fourth quarter and stretching a slim halftime advantage into a rout. The Knicks and Celtics remain tied at 34-19.

The Knicks led 35-24 after one, then let Boston trim it to 7 at halftime, 60-53. New York pulled away in the third, outscoring Boston 25-15 to reach an 85-68 lead after three quarters. The Knicks shot 40 of 83 from the field while Boston made just 34 of 92.

Jalen Brunson led New York with 31 points and 8 assists. Jaylen Brown paced the Celtics with 26 points. Karl-Anthony Towns grabbed 10 rebounds for the Knicks. Boston made 14 of 15 free throws but took 41 three-point attempts, hitting only 7 of them.
