00:00New York Knicks a big victory, 118-109 outright as a 3-3.5 point underdog on the road inside
00:09TD Garden.
00:10It was pretty wild, right, when you see the fluctuation of the line because it got as
00:14high as a minus three points here for the New York Knicks yesterday in the afternoon
00:18at the FanBull Sportsbook.
00:19I should have said right around noontime and then you see that complete shift over because
00:22we were getting an actual starting lineup out of the Celtics and not just, okay, five
00:26guys go out there, let's see what happens.
00:28But also, if you take a look at that final score, Ben, 118-109, that doesn't even tell
00:32the tale of the story here because you did get a good performance, should I say a solid
00:36starting lineup and guys playing starter minutes for the Boston Celtics.
00:40And if you would have told me, like, okay, Tatum's going to be in, Brown's going to be
00:43in that fourth quarter, what was just the score of that quarter alone?
00:46Oh, 38-18 the Celtics.
00:48I would have said the Celtics would have won this game by 25-plus points and maybe the
00:51Knicks took the night off here.
00:53But the fact that the Knicks were smoking the Celtics on their home court heading into
00:57the fourth quarter, boy, the Knicks are such an interesting team right now.
01:00And Brunson has been absolutely fantastic, punching that ticket every single night, it
01:04seems like, for 30-plus points.
01:06And no surprise, yesterday going for 39.
01:09It's a shame the Knicks aren't going to be full gas once the playoff starts, but they
01:12look like a team here that you just can't say, okay, well, we have our starting five,
01:16like the Celtics will easily beat this Knicks team.
01:19They're really showing up in spades, man.
01:20The heart that this team has showed throughout the season, beating down so many starters
01:24with a skeleton lineup, it feels like, on a night-to-night basis to wind up with 48
01:28wins so far in the season, that's a great job by Tibbs.
