3rd quarter report

A Celtics win would push their record above .500, and after three quarters of play they have put themselves in a good position to make that happen. After three quarters, their offense really asserted itself, dominating the Knicks 113-87.

The Celtics came into the match with extra motivation after the defeat they suffered the last time these two teams met. We’ll see if they can flip the script or if it’ll just stay more of the same.

The Knicks will be hoping to beat the odds on Tuesday as pundits believe they are headed for a loss. They finished last season with a record of 42-37-1 against the spread.
