Brunson scores 39 points, Knicks beat Celtics to keep up push for No. 2 seed in Eastern Conference

Associated Press  

BOSTON — Jalen Brunson scored 39 points in three quarters and the New York Knicks kept up their quest to finish with the No. The Celtics were badly beaten on the glass as the Knicks decisively won the rebounding battle and had 22 second-chance points compared to Boston’s 12. Brunson’s night was also done with one quarter to spare as New York denied Boston’s bid of a season sweep of its Atlantic Division rival. “The game has shifted and it’s going to shift even more in the playoffs.” The Celtics shot 11 of 19 overall and 5 of 10 from beyond the arc, yet trailed 32-29 after one quarter.
