Perkins: Knicks' Desperation High in Celtics Clash

0:00On April 9, Kendrick Perkins is turning up the heat on the New York Knicks ahead of their big clash with the Boston Celtics tonight at Madison, Square Garden. The Celtics could lock up the Atlantic Division title and the Eastern Conference's number two seed with a win, but Perkins says the Knicks have way, more riding on this one. He broke it down on ESPN, comparing the Knicks' desperation to his own weekly diabetic shot, stressing they need a statement victory against the top. The team might Boston to prove their legit contenders. Over the past six or seven weeks, the Knicks have mixed results, dropping games to teams like Charlotte, Oklahoma City, and Houston by double digits. On average, but bouncing back with wins over Memphis, Chicago, Atlanta, San Antonio, and even a blowout of Denver. A loss here could shake up New York's hold on the East's number three seed, where they lead Cleveland by just half a game, while Boston sits comfy. With a three game edge, and only three games left, so tip off hits at 7.30pm.
