Nice come-back win ... we held the Knicks to 18 pts in the third, and 17 pts in the fourth. We shot FG's at 46% to their 41%, (not great for either team), we sucked from beyond the arc, (1 of 10 to their 7 of 22), but out-rebounded them considerably, (a great sign), and had a ton of steals.
We looked very half-hearted in the first half, but came out after the break with a bit more juice, and dug in defensively, creating some nice fast-break points at the other end. I think the
"Celtics suck" chants worked completely opposite to what the fans intended, and the C's took motivation from it.
Absolutely
loved the shot of Ray's mom consoling Spike Lee ... that kind of summed it up for me.
Great win, Boys ... they're gelling again and becoming more of that cohesive unit we've been waiting for ... Big Baby's energy the other night was really the turning point, and I think we're in for a win-streak and the smoothing over of the new members' transition to this team.
Go Celtics!
