better than this. The Knicks stomped the Celtics on Monday night at Madison Square Garden. They took the lead for the first time when Julius Randle knocked down a 3-pointer 102 seconds in and never gave it back, the final buzzer of a“We came out with the right energy and the right mindset,” said Mitch Robinson, another monstrous two-way game in the books for him, 10 points and 13 rebounds and two blocks and countless moments when the Celtics wanted no part of shooting the ball anywhere near him.
They shot fine , but not spectacularly. They missed 11 free throws.
