FINAL SCORE: 

IN BRIEF: For the second time in as many games against the Knicks, the Celtics were trailing at halftime. While the Knicks were able to keep it closer this time around, the Celtics did just enough to emerge with the victory and extend their winning streak to four. Kemba Walker led all scorers with XX points and Daniel Theis was particularly strong on the defensive end (four blocks).
