Boston Celtics and New York Knicks head-to-head record
The Boston Celtics had dominated their last five meetings with the New York Knicks, taking four of those meetings prior to the Knicks' 108-105 overtime victory on May 6, 2025, to start the present playoff series. Boston has routinely outscored New York in their last four games, displaying their offensive prowess with resounding wins like a 131-104 victory in February and a 132-109 thumping in October. But the Knicks' most recent victory points to a change in momentum, driven by Jalen Brunson's impressive action and tightened defense. Given how intense the series is now, Game 2 may go either way. The Knicks want to continue on their recent run of success and win another game away from home, while Boston will be keen to recover at home by depending on Tatum and Brown.
