* End the Celtics 13-game home win streak
* End the Celtics 27-game home win streak against East opponents.
* Keep Jayson Tatum from getting to 2,000 points.
* Avoid a 5-game season sweep. – 9:40 PM

Celtics have not played a meaningful game this month and won’t for another 9-10 days. Joe Mazzulla’s challenge is getting this team sharp before what could be a very tough first round matchup. – 9:30 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Just for a note – if Brunson doesn’t play in the fourth and finishes with 39 points he misses a chance to be the third player in Knicks history with 3 straight 40-or more games. – 9:28 PM

Wow. No Jalen Brunson checking in to get 40. – 9:27 PM

Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop
As Josh Hart goes to line to complete 3-pt play and give NY a 99-69 lead at :47 of 3rd quarter, Mazzulla pulls his starters. Some fans boo, others yell, “Leave ’em in,” as if to punish them.
No doubt, game meant nothing to C’s, but crowd wanted more for its entertainment dollar. – 9:17 PM
Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
Entering with back-to-back 40 point games, Jalen Brunson has 39 through 3 quarters tonight.

A Maine Celtics run has brought them all the way back to being down just 4 as the OKC Blue call a timeout. 64-60, OKC.

Through three quarters, the Knicks lead the Celtics 100-71.

• Bogdanovic 12 & 3
• DiVincenzo 11-3-4
• Hartenstein 5-10-3 – 9:16 PM

Do you play Jalen Brunson up 31 on Boston so he can get one more basket for 40 points? I say yes. – 9:15 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
The Celtics trail the Knicks 100-71 heading into the 4th. It’ll be the second unit to close the game for Mazzulla.
Biggest losses of the year for Boston:

17 points to ORL (11/24)
13 points to MIL (4/9) – 9:15 PM

The Knicks have played really, really small in this game — McBride, Brunson, DiVincenzo and Hart together.
And they’ve now gone really, really big with Brunson and basically four guys who could play the 4 or 5. – 8:22 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
If this is the Bojan Bogdanovic the Knicks are getting for the playoffs, the Quentin Grimes trade was worth it.
Bogdanovic is on pace to have his 4th game scoring 10 or more off the bench in his last 6 games.

#Celtics trail #Knicks 32-29 after 1Q. Brown 9, Tatum 7, Hart 8, Divicenzo 7, Brunson 6.

BOS 1 for 2 points. – 8:01 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
No other significant east games tonight aside from #Celtics #knicks.
Some BIG ones on deck tomorrow though:
#Pacers #Cavaliers crucial in the 3-7 race.
#Magic #76ers could swing the play-in race and who Boston faces R1
#Knicks play again tomorrow too vs. BKN.
#Bucks @ OKC – 8:01 PM
John Karalis @John_Karalis
32-29 Knicks. 9 second chance points for NYK, 8 points off 5 turnovers. So it did get sloppy and the effort did wane as the quarter went on. Boston is 5-10 from 3, though, so it’s a close game – 8:00 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through one quarter, the Knicks lead the Celtics 32-29.
• Hart 8-5-2
• DiVincenzo 7 pts
• Brunson 6 pts, 3 asts
• Anunoby 4 & 4
• Brown 9 pts – 8:00 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Eventful first quarter ends with the Knicks leading the Celtics, 32-29
Brunson/DiVincenzo/Hart have combined for 21 of the Knicks’ 32 points – 8:00 PM
Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
Knicks got the lead up to 8 before the back to back 3’s by Hauser and Horford.
The Celtics have not trialed by double-figures at home since their last home loss, to the Lakers February 1st. Celtics have won 13 straight at home. – 7:52 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
This is what makes the Celtics difficult to guard: Yes they have Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford allow Boston to play 5-out all game long.
Horford transition 3 brings Celtics back within two. Timeout, Thibs. – 7:51 PM

No idea how you check this, but pretty sure like 75% of Jaylen Brown’s free throw misses are short and hit the front of the rim – 7:43 PM

Bulls have set a franchise record with 907 3-pointers, per Bulls PR. They’ve sank one since then to make it 908 and counting.
But for perspective, Bulls rank T-26th with 11.5 makes per game. And the league-leading Celtics have 1,305 3-pointers. Bulls are 28th with total 3-ptrs – 7:29 PM

Ran through all the potential scenarios for the Knicks, who can finish as high as 2nd but no lower than 6th and can still draw a first-round playoff matchup against Joel Embiid.

BTW, it may not seem like it but Bulls vs. Detroit tonight could have bearing on Knicks (if my math is right) — if Chicago wins Atlanta can’t catch them for 9th (Bulls hold tiebreaker) so Bulls might be holding out players in season finale at MSG. – 2:31 PM

Comparable minutes and better efficiency with a much higher volume of shots. Leads the Eastern Conference in 3-pointers made.
