The Knicks struggled to contain the dribbles and precise assists from Jrue Holiday. In the third quarter, the visiting team managed to make a comeback, scoring 28 points against the Celtics’ 22. The standout player of the game was Boston Celtics’ power forward, Jayson Tatum, who scored 28 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and provided four assists in 30 minutes of play. In the final quarter, the Celtics sealed the home victory with a 23-22 partial score.
