The Celtics continued their winning streak against the Knicks, defeating them 118-105, marking the Knicks' third consecutive loss to the reigning champions. Coach Tom Thibodeau noted the challenges the Knicks face in closing the gap against elite teams like the Celtics. Despite a strong push in the fourth quarter, the Knicks struggled defensively, falling to 0-7 against the top three NBA teams this season. Additionally, Karl-Anthony Towns expressed optimism about their performance in the second half, highlighting their need to elevate their game in critical moments.
It's obviously an ongoing process trying to close the gap on the Celtics. They're a well-oiled machine.
When we're in that position, that's when we gotta be at our best.
It just takes two or three minutes of not getting it right and they can go on a run on you.
We finally came in at halftime and decided to be the team we needed to be against this team.
