There was a lot of scoreboard watching going on as the Celtics battled the Knicks. New York’s lead had ballooned while it was a close, back-and-forth game between the Hornets and Wizards in Washington.
But the bench Celtics were on an impressive 17-2 run in the fourth quarter, forcing a few more eyeballs back to their game. What was a commanding New York lead was all but gone as just a point remained between the upset-minded C’s and the Knicks, who were gunning to lock down homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
