Game 1 Post Game Recap

Final Score: Boston Celtics: 78 New York Knicks: 85

It was a tale of two halves this afternoon between the Knicks and Celtics as decently paced, high scoring first half turned into a drag-em out physical game in the second half. The second half was a flashback for Knicks fans who have been relating this team to the 90’s Knicks as both teams struggled to put the ball in the basket as defense became the name of the game. This was a game the Knicks needed to have to maintain home court advantage in the series and to not give the Celtics any momentum. The next game in the series will be Tuesday night at 8 P.M. ET in Madison Square Garden.
