Follow the action from a 10-game night in the NBA, featuring Cavaliers-Celtics, Lakers-Timberwolves and Nikola Jokić's quest for a triple-double milestone.

The Boston Celtics went into Madison Square Garden needing a win over the New York Knicks and they delivered to put the series at 2-1 heading into Game 4.

The Celtics fumbled all of an early 24-point lead and gave the hosts multiple shots to win at the end, but still managed to avenge their season-opening loss.

It seemed like the Boston Celtics were going to cruise to a season-opening win when they took an 11-point lead into the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Knicks were 4-0 in the preseason while the Celtics were 3-1 in the preseason. The Celtics won the series with the Knicks 4-0 last season. The Celtics finished last season 61-21 while the Knicks finished 51-31. The Celtics are 308-190 overall, all time against the Knicks. They are 130-109 against the Knicks all time on the road.

Despite being outscored in the fourth quarter, the Knicks finished off the Celtics at Madison Square Garden with a 105-95 win fueled by Karl-Anthony Towns' double-double and Jalen Brunson's 31 points.

Joel Embiid is finally healthy, and the Celtics, on the whole, are greatly reduced thanks to Jayson Tatum's season-ending injury, several trades, and Jaylen Brown's uncertainty for Game 1. The 76ers will win straight up.

Minott is starting as head coach Joe Mazzulla continues to try and figure out what he's got. Not having Jayson Tatum this season due to his torn Achilles has forced the Celtics to try things. Minott is the latest attempt at getting a spark to start games. He's just 22, and he's new to Boston from the Timberwolves.
