Knicks Host Celtics in Division Battle

Knicks look for revenge and 2nd place in the Atlantic against the Celtics

By: Joe Grushko

Second place in the Atlantic division is on the line for the Knicks as they look for revenge against the Celtics at the Garden.

Since these teams last met the roles have been reversed. Boston handled the Knicks on December 27th, cruising to their fourth win in-a-row. The Celtics kept the Knicks under 40% from the field.

But as the calendar turned to 2016 these two rivals have gone in different directions. The Knicks have gone 4-2 in their last six games due in large part to spreading the ball around.
