Knicks Edge Celtics in Thriller

0:00On April 10th, the Knicks just pulled off a gritty 112-106 victory over the Celtics at Madison Square Garden. Keeping that playoff vibe alive. Josh Hart dropped 26 points, with 15 of them exploding in the fourth quarter to seal the deal against their Eastern Conference foes. Now at 52-28, New York has already topped last season's win total, with just two games left, staying right on the heels of Boston. For that number two seed, the game kicked off with me-call bridges, hitting the first seven points in transition for the Knicks, but Boston fired back with a nine-nothing run, and hustled to a seven-point edge early. Things stayed tight all night, with leads swapping hands through halftime, where the Celtics held a slim one-point advantage after outrebounding New York. Knicks fans were buzzing as Carl Anthony Towns grabbed 12 boards to go with his 16 points, while Jalen Brunson tallyed 25 points and 10 assists. Over on Boston side, Jason Tatum returned to MSG post Achilles injury, with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 8 dimes, but they missed.

1:07Jalen Brow, Paiden Pritchard, lit it up off the bench with 23, and Baylor Shireman dropped a season high-20, going six for seven from deep. Heart-earned game MVP honors, not just for his hot shooting, but locking down Tatum late. The Knicks turned Boston turnovers into buckets, building a lead they never surrendered down the stretch. With momentum rolling, New York heads into a back-to-back Friday night against the Raptors at 7.35pm, eyeing that final push for seeding. Glory.
