When the New York Knicks created their superteam this offseason, it was constructed to be a team that could compete with Boston. Now the two teams will square off in the Conference Semifinals. If the regular season has anything to do with how this series will turn out, it looks good for Boston.
The first game was Opening Night when New York traveled to TD Garden for the first game of the regular season. The energy and emotions were high that night as Boston raised Banner 18 to the rafters and the players received their championship rings.
On top of receiving their rings, the Celtics showed out and made a statement defeating the Knicks 132-109.
