The Celtics want the Knicks to pay the piper tonight for their loss against the Nets the day before yesterday, in a game in which the Bostonians left at the end of the first quarter with a 22-point lead and ended up being overwhelmed by the Brooklyn team , despite the fact that the locals made up the result in the last minutes (105-115). And it is that the Celtics, runners-up last year, have been very firm throughout the season, which makes them take several months as top candidates for the ring. Boston is second in the East with 45 wins and 19 losses, just 1 win behind the Bucks leadership. And at home his mark improves and is 25-8. The New Yorkers are in great form with 8 consecutive victories, but in theory they are one or two steps below the Bostonians. Their current position in fifth place in the East with a record of 38-27 makes them above expectations.
