The Knicks beat the Boston Celtics 121-113 in Game 4 of their second round matchup on Monday night.
New York now has a 3-1 series advantage over the defending champs.
Here are some takeaways...
- Tom Thibodeau said pregame that the Knicks had discussions about starting Mitchell Robinson to keep the Celtics from fouling him while in the bonus, but they ultimately decided to stick with the usual starters.
- The opening few minutes of this one were a bit of a carbon copy from Game 3. New York got off to an extremely slow start offensively and Boston was able to open an early advantage behind some hot shooting -- headlined by Derrick White knocking down his first four triples.
