The New York Knicks celebrated Tom Thibodeau’s 63rd birthday with a sensational win that snapped their five-game losing skid.
With their defense sharp and their offense on target, the Knicks obliterated the Eastern Conference’s current no. 1 team Bostons Celtics, 105-75, Sunday at the TD Garden.
It was the Knicks largest win in Boston since a 37-point in 1970.
It was so lopsided that Thibodeau emptied his bench with more than three minutes left, giving the likes of seldom-used Ignas Brazdeikis, Theo Pinson and Dennis Smith, Jr. some burn.
It was a total team effort for the Knicks, who rebounded from a tough loss in Cleveland.
