The Boston Celtics ( 38 - 25 ) defeated the visiting New York Knicks ( 25 - 38 ) 105 - 104 , Friday night at TD Garden . This was truly a battle of two teams headed in opposite directions as the Celtics have now won 11 of their last 14 games and five straight , while the Knicks have lost 12 of 14 and three in a row . With this win the Celtics extend their home winning streak to an impressive 13 games and their home record to 22 - 10 overall . Boston has been averaging 112 points per game in its last 12 at home and although came up short of that in this one , mounted an impressive rally to overcome an eight - point deficit with four minutes left in the fourth quarter . The Celtics were still down by one when they called time - out with 21 seconds left . Avery Bradley then converted a tough , driving lay - up to go up by one with 17 seconds left and ultimately take the win against a stubborn Knicks squad . Isaiah Thomas was a beast for the Celtics as he led the way with a game - high 32 points ( 9 - 15 FG , 2 - 5 3Pt , 12 - 13 3Pt ) , along with eight assists , three rebounds and two steals , in 35 minutes . Jae Crowder was solid with 20 points ( 9 - 19 FG , 1 - 6 3Pt , 1 - 4 FT ) , eight rebounds and two assists , in 35 minutes , while Evan Turner chipped in 21 points ( 10 - 19 FG , 1 - 2 FT ) , eight rebounds and three assists , in 32 minutes off the bench . Boston shot a poor 4 - 20 from distance but managed to hit 45 percent from the field overall . Carmelo Anthony dropped 30 points ( 13 - 27 FG , 2 - 8 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) , along with seven rebounds , and four assists , in 40 minutes , but it was not enough , as he could not convert his final shot of the game , which would have been for the win . Robin Lopez tallied a double - double with 12 points and 12 rebounds , while Arron Afflalo chipped in 17 points . The Knicks shot a respectable 39 percent from deep and 45 percent overall , limited their turnovers to 10 and assisted on 22 of their 42 field goals in the game but with the loss fall to 2 - 7 under head coach Kurt Rambis . The Knicks head straight back to New York to host the Pistons on Saturday , while the Celtics head straight to Cleveland to face the Cavs on Saturday .
