The NBA’s fiercest rivalry reignites as the Knicks and Celtics square off in a potential Eastern Conference Finals preview. Boston’s “Jays” (Tatum and Brown) look to exploit New York’s perimeter defense with their iso-heavy offense, while Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle aim to puncture the Celtics’ top-ranked defense with pick-and-roll precision. With both teams boasting top-5 net ratings and championship aspirations, every possession will be a chess match—Tatum’s mid-range artistry vs. Mitchell Robinson’s rim protection, and Brunson’s crafty drives against Derrick White’s lockdown versatility. Legacy, playoff seeding, and bragging rights are all on the line.
